recently bought a 10.5 Blade III depower kite from kitedog and had a chance to take it out for a ride today. Wind was so so but enough to get a whole new outlook on the power these kites can produce.


oh yeah, one word to describe the pull from the kite, AWESOME

I didn't have a harness so manually depowering with one hand while steering with the other was challenging

pics below nothing to fancy just showing its new home.

Get a harness for the full effect. If you need a harness, I have several for sale.

Glad to see it in the air!

Sinclair: Where in chicago do you usually fly?

Kitedog: What kinds of harnesses?

I sold the Prolimit waist harness. I still have the Dakine Fusion with spreader pad and pivoting bar for sale. Van is trying to buy it but its still available until someone makes a commitment. The Mammut climbing harness and custom Wichard and Holt Pulley block are still available as well.

Jolt fly at montrose beach

kitedog what size is the fusion? looking for 34" waist

The large Dakine Fusion harness should fit from 34 to 36 inch waists. It also includes a Dakine bar pad and pivoting spreader bar. There's also a line knife. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it out tomorrow.
