schultzie Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Posted February 11, 2004 you got that link off the arc users group,lol, did u read about the canoe journey? it is pretty cool, (i talk to the waves tooo) Quote
Azza Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 actually found it looking for kite designs... Saul is responsible for the design behind Australias newest kite manufacturer... Monkey Kites http://www.monkeykites.com check http://web.media.mit.edu/~saul/zeroprestige/menu.htm for lots more!!! their prices are way low... can't say much than that, except it sounds promising. anyone else know any more??

schultzie Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Posted February 11, 2004 although my thread has been stolen, it is about time it happens to me as i do i to every one else, how is the intro vid, those jumps are huge, ANd on another note i need a bar and lines , or just lines Quote
jsea Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Sorry schultzie i don't mean to get off the topic but does anyone know anything about these monkey kites??? I wanna jump like they do!!!! And right back onto the topic schultzie is still looking for lines Happy flying Quote
Azza Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 hahahaha.... off-topic still :twisted: if you follow the link above, or search, for "Zero Prestige" and look at the designs for the 8.5metre, and read Saul's design notes, you'll get an idea about the process behind the final design for Monkey Kites.... then you'll know about as much as anyone else seems to... if not more ...and back to bars and lines... :roll: Quote
jsea Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Thanks Azza ill have a closer look at the website, see what these things are all about. You got those lines and bar yet schultzie? Quote
schultzie Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Posted February 15, 2004 hitch hikers!!! no no bar and lines, if you want a real monkey kite get yourself a G-Arc, big and floaty jumps, or an f-arc (the kite that every one else is jealous of) Quote
jsea Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 grrr too many options also looking at the frenzy but thats a lot of money thanx for the ideas though Quote
