jaybett Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 The person you want to get in touch with is Hiflistorr. He is a huge fan of Level One Kites and can tell you all about all the different models. He posts at thekiteshoppe.com and GWTW. The Kite Shoppe has a specific forum on Level One you might want to check out. What I've seen of the Genesis, its a very impressive kite. I was at Trick's Party at Ocean Shores, WA. The conditions that day were less then ideal. A thick mist covered the field and winds were blowing between 13mph and 16mph with gusts. Every top of the line kite was represented, Nirvanas, Quantum Pro, Sea Devils, Viper, Tantrum, Sky Master, Cessium, Wild Child, and Genesis. The only kites that appeared to fly comfortably in the higher winds was a Viper, Tantrum, and Genesis. To be fair Mr. Barresi's Sea Devil was also controllable, but that probably was more due to John being an experienced competitor, knows a lot of tricks, he put two sets of Wah pads on his kite and weighted her down. The other Sea Devil at the party was struggling in high winds. The Genesis flier threw two or three comete's in practice and a few in the party. All in high winds. He was the only one to do it. For a competition kite the Genesis at its price and performance level is quite a bargain compared to the other kites out there. It's even a better deal now that it's on sale at thekiteshoppe.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
