| We will not bore you with fancy technology talk that numbs the mind, we prefer to show you what this new design is all about using lots of video so that you can evaluate the performance for yourself. I assume that you are a advanced to expert rider that has enough experience to evaluate what you see in these videos. If you are not experienced then please visit our Beast pages. Our Beast kites are more oriented to the average rider. We now finished testing the 5-7-9-11 M and are in production when you read this, 7M Ovando will be available by June 22 and the 5-9-11 by July 22, 2009. In the videos the wind is 13 to 25 knots, rider weight is from 60 to 80 kg, the kite is on a 45cm bar, 30cm de-power flying 7M Ov.on 23M lines. We have used the kite from 10 to 30 knots and so far none of my riders have needed to use the de-power strap. | One characteristic that stands out is the ability to turn very quickly anywhere in the window, and this without hesitation. You can witness this quick responsive turning in the Turning and Flying video. The kite has a gradual smooth 80% de-power with a direct feel in the bar, no need to find the sweet spot, the harder you pull the faster you go. At this point we estimate a 15 knot wind range for the 11M. Enjoy the videos and make up your own mind if this could be a kite for you. If you want to see more extensive testing of the Ovando please click here for a YouTube Play list. The videos and information will be updated on the fly so please drop in once in a while for updates. Or use my FaceBook page or news section for day to day semi private info on what we are doing. | |
