Not sure what it is, but that's the first vid since the first Niv video that's made me want to buy a kite.  Even if it is very un-Robertshaw-like ugly.

I've been flying longer than that kid has been alive.

As with so many Robertshaw releases, I am tempted  But even with an explanation from His Carlness himself I'm scratching my head over the price. £265 (~$375 at the moment) is a shedload of money for any kite but when it also represents a premium over KiteStudio's other fully Aerostuffed kites.....

The video is entertaining rather than informative. We all know Chris can do this stuff but I'd like to see something a bit more conventional before I consider whipping out the credit card.

It's no beauty either but if I did buy one I'd see what I could do about that

If I owned one I'd be tempted to test 5PT and 7PT as lower spreaders, simply because they seem more able to take input-abuse than Aerostuff (and are cheaper).

Can't wait to try the beast though!
