Flexifoil Hadlow Pro
The Hadlow Pro was designes specially for the 4 times world champion.
It is also the Irish Champion's kite of choice. Its a serious piece of
kit for the advanced freestyle riders. Its incredibly smooth and turns
like its on rails.
The HadlowPro comes in one colour and one colour only.

Flexifoil Atom08
The new Atom is a great choice for 80% of riders. We use it in the school
and a lot of the local riders have been demoing it in the past few days.
The one word they have all come back with is "Smooth". Both
the low end and high end on the Atom is really good and the build quality
up to Flexifoil's usual high standards. The Atom is very suitable for
beginners, intermediate and wave riders, but still has the performance
the more advanced riders want. The 5m is Eamon's favourite kite for Megaloops!
The Atom can be deom'ed from us at any time.

The Atom comes in three different colours, "Rasta", "Hulk"
or "Petrol"

Flexifoil Ion3
The Ion3 is the new Hybrid kite from Flexifoil. Unlike a lot of other
kites billed as Hybrids, the Ion has two different settings. It can be
run on a 4-line bridle system, or a 5th line system. The 4-line setup
is similar to the Atom and can be great for waves and freeriding. The
5th line setup is better for Freestyle stuff.

Peter Lynn Synergy
The new Synergy Twinskin kite from Peter Lynn has been released and is
a nice improvement on the concept. The ARC concept is something slightly
different, the kite is a closed cell C-shaped foil. It's water relaunchable,
and doesn't need a pump.
Anyone familiar with Twinskin kites will be instantly comfortable on the
new Synergy, and this year they have improved all aspects of the kite
- the materials, construction, power, turning speed, setup, the bag, the
lift, the hangtime - it's all been improved on, but the kite still has
those nice ARC features like AutoZeinth, a huge upper windrange, and gust
munching ability.

Ocean Rodeo Rise Venturi
The new Rise from Ocean Rodeo looks like a very
nice kite. Our first reports about this kite came from Ocean Rodeo teamrider
Richard Tamplin who was over visiting in November and said the OR gear
would be great for our conditions, similar to what they have over in Canada
where the gear is designed.
We are expecting the first kites in next week and Paul will do a full
write up when he is finished his exams.
