Fractured Axel

Post man called yesterday with two card board tubes from Jest of Eve. They contained my new Talon standard and vented to go with the ultra light that I already had. Thought I would share some pictures with you.

These kites are so nice that my only dilema is do I fly them or donate them to the national art gallery. Thanks to Mark Clements for these beauties.

I suggest you do the following.
Fly them once, then you'll be sure you don't want to waste them at the National Art Gallery...

Today in the afternoon at the beach close to Barcelona I had one hour of excellent clean constant low wind.
I took my TalonUL out.
Indescribable.

For the first time I did a rising fade starting from the floor (kite already belly up on floor). Boy it was sooooo smooth!
I was so mesmerised I tried it five or six times more with perfect success.
The Talons are excellent kites!

Enjoy them!
