WG , Glad we are good ! No offence intended.

JP, Sounds like you will get a set of handles with the Soulfly. I am certain you will enjoy the Bullet a whole lot more when you use them. Mine came from Real kiteboarding and was their trainer so came on a 2 line bar. It flew that way but was very powerful and kind of scared me as well. It was a much different kite on handles.

Good news is that handles are cheap. If you like it with handles Jeff can send you a second set.

I am very interested in seeing if Jeff is right and the 2 kites look almost the same . I remember the Bullet as having an almost semi circle shape with a sharp straight trailing edge. Not as elongated as other models and a bit lower aspect ratio? ( now I found a picture it's not as round as I may have thought ? )

I agree that the mesh on the Bullet is lousy. I have experienced how it makes snowballs inside. I got by with Bullets the 1st year but they are a lousy snow kite.

Man I need to try one of the new Soulfly Pro's. I must say the Rage is my favorite buggy engine so far. Second is my Bullet. WG, hearing how the new Pro's fly like a Rage is awesome. I see they are still not on the PKD USA website? :dunno:

Glad to hear they have changed the material, cause that Buster of k1's is nasty.

Thanks for the info about his PKD site Jeff. I didn't see them from Angus either. Just the regular Soulflys as well.
I just never know when that "I must have that new kite right now" thing happens ;) :lol:
