  3. While I will be working on full length tutorials as weather and time allow, here is a basic intro to the Sync Bridle for those of you not on Facebook. Summary for using the limiter adjustment on the Djinn: My favorite knot (x) for an ideal wind range, second from the inside... ————O—-xO——O——O (end) Shortening the distance between top and bottom decks of the bridle favors center sail compression, sharper response. Lengthening that distance makes a more traditional “pull the leading edge” type of flight easier and reduces sensitivity (good for upper wind ranges when the kite is getting squirrelly). There is also a slight increase in max forward speed when the limiter is lengthened. More formal content is planned for the future, as well as more “on the spot” bits like this - thanks all, can’t wait to see the kite express themselves very differently in each of your hands. ☺️ Also FYI, all Djinns come standard on the middle setting like this: ————O——O—-xO——O (end) Feel free to post any follow up questions here. 👍🏻

  4. In short, this kite is as responsive as advertised.. The biggest leap forward is the Sync Bridles.. Not conventional, nor is it a turbo or french bridle. It literally makes the whole wing a lot more of a cohesive unit while maintaining the independence of the inputs. For those that fly with a lot of brake (and I do mean a lot) you might have to back off that mindset a knot or two for first flight. The design of the bridles seems to have the the extra brake so many of us desire already incorporated to a point. That being said, control feels familiar but at the same time, almost enhanced in the responsiveness. Bottom line, a true quality product that's a significant step forward, right out of the bag. Everything you would have considered adding before is now already there. Looking forward to more time on the handles with this sail..

  5. One for sure thing I've learned is you can't judge a kites color till it's in the air. Starting to wonder if I'll ever see a ugly one. The last 2 just make me smile wider.

  8. Perhaps there still could be a tiny bit of something more to get out of the PD?🙂: https://kitelife.com/forum/topic/8173-favorite-sul/?do=findComment&comment=65913
