Last year's kite was arguably the best freestyle weapon the world has ever seen, in fact it was so good they sold out in a matter of months. The new 2008 kite is ostensibly the same tool, although some subtle changes will ensure it stays well ahead of the chasing pack. Put simply, if you want the best new school kite in '08, look no further.
