First official informations…

… came from Mark Shinn on kiteforum.com

Hi all,

Thanks for the positive comments about the kites.
Right now these are still the final prototype kites and there are still adjustments being made.

I expect to be announcing all the details around the middle of December and you can be sure to find it all here on Kite Forum.
However, don’t make too many judgements based on a few shots of proto kites!
Regards

Shinn
