Hey Mark,

When you call for a meeting and you get some attendees to join you - or solo if thats how it goes down, could you please post a meeting report to let us know how things went? Pics would be a nice addition, but not entirely necessary, unless you want proof of your participation!

When I first arrived their were three of us. By the time I left prob. a dozen. COLD air temp. No pics as I was skimboarding. Wind was very punchy to start with. Went from 14-30. Settled down later in the day.

Got several peeps out on the CULT.

Hope to see more for the next meeting.....

tell us about the Cult vs the Helix.

Mark · Fri May 09, 2008 8:57 am

Helix came out first. Has a higher aspect ratio. Super high jumper. Less on the "low end, out of the hole" power. Once up and going very fast kite. Points upwind very high.

Cult is very very user friendly. Great low end. good jumper. Great for gusts and waves. The kind of kite that feels so friendly you want to try new tricks. A great all terrain kite.

Both kites have great relaunch and light bar pressure.

of course this is my personal opinion. I suggest you come try on out for yourself!

Will have to wait and see what the wind is going to do. Not sure I will go to rufus as I will be starting in Ptown.

Nice work Mark. Cult meetings are the best.

I am in China on business right now, but my daily Cult meetings will commence again next Wednesday for anyone in Maui. Contact me for a meeting slot!

Thanks, Bammer
