New Gear

Post by Chris B »

It’s about that time of year we start my discussing the new products and innovations coming out. I’m curious what Ozone, Cab, Nash and the other boys have coming out. I’m up to speed on the new Slingshot gear but would like others to chime in.

I have yet to get on a 09 Fuel but I’m stoked to try the new 4 line Fuel after I looked at it. They worked on the relaunch the Fuel in its 4 line mode. As many of you old school 4 line C-kite riders out there remember the days of paddling your tail off towards the kite to get it on its back. I saw a video of the new 4 line Fuel and it looked like a combination of the 05 Fuel bar with an 08 Rev bar. Tony has adjusted the attachment points to the Fuel to make it easier to roll over in light winds. Even last year’s Fuel was easy to roll over with only pulling on one line. I’m going to try to get my hands on a new Fuel for the guys going down to Padre this fall.

The kite is still a 4/5 line kite.
