Nice, it's got a bit of a 'Flexifoil' look.

It may seem that way.....well actually yes, i sorted the colour design but mason changed it from black white and red to black white and green to match a previous kite of his.

I also changed the plans from a kite that william adapted to meet the requirements of my little brother. We shall see how it flies.

1.2 nah its only 0.74m2 give or take a little. you sure can, planning on finishing up to moro morning if i don't get stuck organizing a party.

yea we had a mint time on thursday, had my 16m venom up in winds gusting up to 23knots according to windnet. was madness at times

im wanting one more session before i go, we will see if the wind will play along...

Hey which design programme did you use for that kite? I found surfplan the other week though only a 30 day trial.
