I ran across this review the other day.

Mmmmm........I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.

If anyone is thinking of ordering, let me know - we can potentially double-up and save on shipping which I've heard is very steep to the US.

Might be worth checking with Fraser if the demo kites are for sale after the tour.

The BP (Pro & UL) are hovering there at or near the top of my next kite list.  Pity I'm in the UK.

Hi Tom,

here's the answer to your Q:

What is the difference between the BP and the BP Pro?

The BP Pro is a more precise SkyShark version of the BP standard.

Specifications for the BP Pro:
Spine: P3X
Lower spreaders: Black Diamond Nitros
Leading edge: 3pt/3pt
Slightly different stand-off positions and a modified bridle.

HTH.

Thanks!

Looks like the Pro is the way to go for those in the US, since SkyShark is easy to get here.

Well, 6mm carbon shouldn't be hard to get either ...

I personally like one piece leading edges, any ferrule is a weak spot. Might be just my flying or the irish wind conditions 

[tpatter]

True.

Once I heard that it was 3 pt I was sold.  My 3 most favorite kites are all framed in 3pt - I'm beginning to think that it's no coincidence!
