mystainedskin Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Took our new members extra for a spin in Treasure Island...Ty sir Beautiful kites! 3 Quote
mystainedskin Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Posted January 28, 2014 These are by far my favorite so far. I flew Johns in Destin and knew right away...the xtra is just soooo smooth but the pressure in the sail and the handles or line feel is still there....one day I will get one it may not get used too much ...but well worth having in my opinion. 3 Quote

Not get used!?!! You will put a 2 frame in and fly it in the carpark!!! Actually in all seriousness, the Vtd and XTRA are lots of fun when you frame down. 2 Quote
RobB Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 That's a good lookin' kite ! Maybe I would get more use out of an Extra than a Zen ? So, there are 2 Revs I still need to get ! 2 Quote
zero1199 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 I have to say the xtra and polo mid-vent are my favorite rev. smooth as silk Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 That's a good lookin' kite ! Maybe I would get more use out of an Extra than a Zen ? So, there are 2 Revs I still need to get ! I got my xtra first, then the Zen, but that was how they came to me!! I usually don't frame down too far, preferring to keep some power in the sail!! It really comes down to situation, team - I want the drive, solo - I can get away with a little less!!! IMHO!! 1 Quote
Amexpmh Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 What is the normal spar for an extra vent three wrap? When you frame down, how low do you go ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
SparkieRob Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 I use a 3 frame in my Polo Vtd but I do plan to try my Diamond rods in it. Quote
zero1199 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 In the extra vent from day one I had green race rod, but I use the race rod for all my kite. Black race rod for my STD, pink race rod for my mid-vent, the green for my full vent , and green for extra. 1 Quote
