It’s a public video posted by an attendee on a public group page, should be visible with any web browser (viewing / no other interaction) - @riffclown, you’re not FB either far as I know, any issues?

449 shares for that video in 24 hours and going up every few minutes, it’s crazy, especially because I give myself a 6/10 on that flight... By the time AKA Convention rolls around, I hope to have it really polished. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

I’d say it’s somewhere in the middle, but leaning more toward “all rounder” rather than a trick machine like the iTrix which is unusually heavy and stiff for an indoor, takes a ton of footwork - the Kaiju is an easier fly, but will do a fair share of tricks really well too, more now with the improvements going into the production run.
-
I just assume every single set of lines I ever receive will either be uneven to start or become uneven in stages over the first 1-2 hours of solid flight... Equalizing is a given for me, and of critical importance. 👍🏻

Just got my hands on the final factory sample, we’ve stiffened it up and got the weight down to 3 oz to boot, production starts very soon! 👍🏻

My favorite trick phrase ever was told to me by Mark Reed of Prism... ”Keep your spine in line.” However he intended it, I’ve taken it to mean using the spine as a key control point. Pancake or half axel, watch the nose flare away until you’re looking down the spine from the tail, then make the next input. Cascades, looking for not only the flare but also the spine facing true right or left (horizontal) on each side of the cascade. Roll ups, same thing, watch the spine roll back and away from you, essentially like a bicycle wheel from the rider’s perspective, until it’s rolled up in its own lines. Etc, etc, different focal points on the kite for different jobs. Fly the whole kite, fly the spine, fly the wing tips, fly the mid body, etc, etc, amazing how a simple shift in visual focus changes your inputs.

One of my favorite trick phrases, “low and slow”... Articulated, right off the deck. 👍🏻

As an aside, if we go in with so few sign ups everyone is going to have TONS of personal attention from 4 instructors. -

Fly in the grey, mix it all together, makes each discipline all the richer for contrast and correlation. 😎

Lotta good times on that beach. Sincerely, I just ask that you don’t underestimate the experience of even a single clinic day - the social dynamic and depth of information never ceases to excite me. 🤟 -

I can say there are two additional LE connections (7 total), but the other details are a little more obscure and harder to describe, not that I would describe them just yet.

They don’t know what they’re missing. One of the things I love about your videos, nice mix of single, dual, quad, just sails on wind - it’s all relevant. 👍🏻
