2/02 Skyline 13.5M Kahoona

Got there at about 3:00 to a bunch of other kiters waiting around for some wind. It started picking up and about 5 of us rode for an hour or two. It was very light wind. Kiteloops got you up Bosco up there wasn't much.

For those of us who stuck it out, It was not the day that most of us were expexting. Very late, lite push came through that made it possible for a few
us to get to the top of Bosco and play. The snow everywhere was favoring ski's as the recent heat wave hardened our venue. I was able to demo the
15m Manta2 with mixed feelings about foils. On my first try on a foil, I found that it had a remarkable lite wind launch, huge power on backloops, extacy
on glides, but seemed to become a feather and folds at the edge of the window sooner than an SLE, with little to no responce, where my "heavy" SLE might be able to recover from my blunder. First timer!
Over all I'm looking forward to givinging it another go, just not in lite-nothing wind or maby, why not. Trevors new 16m Havoc was cool to watch, not so much fun
to pump up. Im really impressed with the Kahoona's veritility. They seem to dominate lite wind with rockstar performance, but what do I know I ride 07 Waroo's exclusively.

Looks like I was fooled with the Skyline forecast yesterday. Some days, you just have to scratch your head and wonder... Thank you for the reports.

Dave, there are so many kites out there, that it can be mighty confusing trying to decide. I have spent a lot of bucks over the years on kites. For the past couple years, I have been pretty satisfied with my Waroos and big FS kite. However, I am getting that expensive itch again to see what else is out there.
