The 6m Airush Varial is the latest addition to my quiver.
Yesterday, Francis gave me his DIY 6m kite which has barely been used ... still crispy.
Within 24 hrs, I got North Sail to repair 2 strut casings and I fixed 1 punctured strut bladder. This morning I picked up extra tube clips ($3 each) from Terminal City Brewing (Clark and 1st) and reassembled the kite ... pumped it up and no leaks!!!
I hope to try out the 6m at Squamish tomorrow (Sat). If all goes well 6m will be my storm kite if it drifts well and turns sufficiently fast.
5m Airush Flow ... nuking 30+ kts
6m Airush Varial ... storm 25-30 kts
8m Airush Ultra V2 ... moderate 18-25 kts
12m Airush Ultra V2 ... desperate 14-18 kts
