New Kite: the Eclipse Kima wave kite. Here's a customer's review...

I got to fly the Eclipse Kima 9m at the LaVentana Kite Expo. The following is my personal opinion. I currently fly 2008 REV's. WOW!!!!! Holly Shit Balls, if you get a chance to fly this kite you will know what I am talking about. I flew this kite two different times because I liked it so much. Both strapped and strapless. Very solid stable feeling kite. This kite is very responsive to rider input and has a quick pivot turn without loosing power. It seems that the harder you fly the kite the more responsive it becomes; it’s a kite that responds to your every input instantly, without any hesitation. If you're into wave riding this is your ticket. Dont beleive me? Fly it, then you will. — Twin Fin

Needless to say, we had to get these kites for Twin Fin. You too? We have the 6m, 9m and 12m in stock. Check the Eclipse website to see what this small, young company is all about.
