F-arc video.


So, With all the talk about the Phanny2 and the recent appearance of the F-Arc, I was asked about this rare breed of kite and decided to search some vids.

Found this one that really shows what flying a ribbon is like.

Skinny bowtie-ing hard to launch ribbon of a kite...but man this thing is fast and awesome!

That video is great!

Another that also shows the real power of the F-Arc is this one:



But we have to consider the mastery of the rider (Chris a.k.a Feyd) since I truely believe that this model isn't for the inexperienced, :D

I hear through FB and the ice reports they have some Epic Ice sailing up in N.H. Chris should chime in if he ever takes a breather from heaven.

@ Don, Chris mentions his ski tuning "secrets" here..
