Subject: New kite from Skynasaur"SLICER"

About the Slicer - The slicer was designed by Brian Vanderslice
and is part of his signature series. The kite is the most
radical in the Skynasaur line. The high aspect ratio and deep
cambered sail makes the Slicer capable of all the hotest tricks
and, with its uniquely adjustable bridle system,it can
turn from a tame, well mannered kite into a radical super performer.

About the Slicer:

      Flew one of the prototypes this weekend at the Newport Kite Fest.
This was one of  Brian's kites. Really different feel to it. Forward speed
was iffy, but this allowed fer some pretty cool trix.
     Seemed like a combo between the little sister(for size) and stranger(
in its shape)  for lack of better comparisons. Recoverability, quick turns
were smooth.
      As with all kites that make a departure from the norm(whatever that
is) it will take a while to explore and learn all the things it can do.
Prism contingent made the little kite really sing.
      Brian Vanderslice will be at the Berkeley Festival this coming
weekend, so check him out in the big winds of the Marina.


dave arnold>>>wishing he was goin' to bezerkely, but havta go to

I, too flew the Slicer at Newport.  After judging Brian's ballet, I
couldn't wait to find one to try.  I love the Strangers and thought the
flight characteristics looked similar.  I also liked Brian's ballet, some
of the other judges felt it was too full of radical tricks.  Hey, life
isn't precise.

Anyway, Donny O. let me try his Slicer and I was real
shocked/dissapointed, it tracked well, turned tight and sure, etc..  Until
he said, oh you want radical.  Don tweeked the Slicer and it was great
fun.  Interesting a kite that fulfills both a stable performance and a bag
o' tricks when adjusted.

Fun.
