4/12/09 Strawberry River 09 11m Ozone Sport

[John Guay]

I got some time on my new 09 Instinct Sport and was really impressed. It definitely has a more powerful feel with a bit more bar pressure than last years kites. The steering was fast and powereful through transitions and it was easy to jump. it seemed like I barely had to move the kite back overhead and I was off the snow. I was fully powered when I first went out and the kite was very stable with the new 4 line set. The bar is the same except the flagging line runs through it. You do have the option to change it to the old set up above the bar. Nice improvements on an already great kite. Can't wait to get some water time!

John,
I'm gonna join the pimpn here.
Yesterday at Skyline I flew the '09 13M Edge RX for my second session,
right after i had been flying my '08 13M Edge.
I'm also impressed with the way this kite flys on the new 4 LINE SETUP.
It feels as stable as the old 5th line setups.
Not a huge change in the over all feel of the two years,
just impressive that it can be done with 4 lines.
Robbie is the master if brideling, and has a winner here.
I noticed a little more bar feel than last years kite,
but last years kite was almost to light in the bar.
