skimmer Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 So I've just revived some new 2014 kit thanks to paul from starkites. I've had 2 sessions on the 7 from 16knts to 45knts and I can't get enough of it. The taina Arawak http://sdrv.ms/1dmCf8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew pattullo Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 looks like a very deep delta kite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geoff Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 looks like a very deep delta kite The Taina, yes, very much so. The Arawak is a little squarer on the tips, bridle is slightly different, and it's far more at the C-like end of the scale. (That's the 2012 models I'm basing it on, but if Paul fancies sending me one of the new 12m Taina's I'll be more than happy to do a back-to-back comparison ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiteingcolin Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's such a rush when you unfold a new kite, Them star kites will look awesome against a bright blue sky, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarKitesUK Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Geoff If I can hold onto them long enough I will get you a trial Thanks Colin they do look great in the air, I've attached a link from this weekend. A local guy has just bought the 14 Metre Taina. The difference this year for both models is a shorter bridel and on the 14 and 17 metre kites we have removed the one pump system to save weight and increase strut pressure. Also the wing tips sweep back earlier on the Taina than before which you can make out in the beach shots Thanks for sharing guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury is still out on the new stealth bag mind First obvious change from the V1 is that the V3 came in a wrapper http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5517/12309208786_cfc9b630ff_z.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3709/12308623925_442fbf10cd_z.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3737/12308779743_cb7a96758f_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7442/12308628955_3a8c5923e5_z.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
