Fearless SUL dawn beach on Christmas Day

[steve_hobart]

Dear all,

Thought you might enjoy these pictures of my custom Fearless SUL (Super UltraLight) at dawn on Christmas Day at the beach near my home.

This kite was made by Lam Hoac of Sky Sport Design in Canada (the same guy that made my Sea Devils).

Superb tricking in 0 - 5 mph wind range.

cheers

That's some really nice shots of your kite with the sunrise as a backdrop Steve.

Oh and the kite doesn't look to shabby either

A bit of *cough* interest about this kite down here at the moment too.

Hey Steve,

The Fearless and Sea Devils are some of the hottest looking kites out there, yet another sweet ride!

Steve, your new one is a beauty (I'm assuming it's on a white base )

Now you'll have to go out and shoot some video of them!

yep - actually white with an "ice blue" wave...

Will have to get some video of this one ...when I stop buggying in these fantastic sea breazes!

cheers

at dawn on Christmas Day at the beach

Now I know how far the beach is from your place Steve but to be down there at dawn! Man talk about committment!

Its either that or the kids got up before dawn to attack thier pressies?

Let me know if you need some assistance to film you flying dude.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave,

6min from my house to Kingston Beach (that's where I have been flying dawn and dusk everyday these holidays) - good winds too and plenty of space.

thanks for the filming offer - I might tale you up on that, I want to get some filming done ready for the next Virtual Freestyle.

cheers

Steve,

Great looking kite, I kind of wish my Fearless was white, I could see it better in our failing light this time of year. I'm having a hard time getting my FL SUL out of a turtle/backflip postion, but the kite can do all my other tricks really well. I need more time to fly it... wondering what your impressions are, and can't wait to see the video...

Hi Rob,

Nice black FL..just like on Lam's video!

I've had only three x x1 hour sessions with the kite now, however I have clicked very quickly with the kite...it suits my flying style very well. Tricks such as JL's, cascades, multi lazies, comete's, Taz machines, half axels, wap do wap's are all very easy and reliable. (Very nice fractured axel launches too!!!)

Having a few difficulties with the crazy copter getting the kite to rotate all around...but that's a difficulty I have with this trick on all SUL's....I haven't found any ideosyncrosies I don't like.

It certainly likes to stay on it's back, however not at the expense of overall neutrality IMHO. I just use it as an opportunity to do muli, multi lazies (2 or 3 times around!). I normally get out of the turtle via a half lazy ala JL style....

Still need more time, but overall I am very happy.

Very very different to the SD's...the only similarity I have found is that they look similar...still I like my SD's too....

cheers

steve
