Jawnee, love that RevII, especially like the location. I just had to ask are you sure the skid marks were on the beach? If I got drug along unintentional I would have had problems elsewhere.

[Choccy]

I have 3 Rev 2's myself, 2 solids and one old twin colour.

I'm Inspired Baloooooooo by your impressive stack.

Serious question for rev.... any place sell spare rev II spars ?

Jawnee's blue rev II is cetainly much admired....

Try Kiteworld Choccy, they dont list Rev 2 rods in thier spares section but I am sure they could get them without problems.

Consider going for a travel set as they break down smaller in case you need to pack them in a suitcase for holliday.

Other than that plenty of places in the US.

Not sure if Big Bri is still over there, worth asking him??

Just had a look on Theresas site, she has the Rev 2 Race frame listed as £46.02 plust postage and taxes of course.

AWOC is cheaper as it works out to about $50 but that is not Race.

I would think if you look at the price of a 1.5 set on Kiteworld you would be in the right ballpark for a Rev 2 set.

thanks guys....

just nervous I might have a multiple break in spars... and need spares.... wot stack:

.................Chocs------------------------away

[Baloo]

Nope.

Chiming in on this older thread.... I recently picked up my first vented B-Series and I'd have to agree with the majority. It is my favorite when the wind is sufficient to fly it. I have wanted one for years and finally decided to pick one up and I love it! I just love that full vent smoothness! Now whenever I go back to flying my standard I can't get over how much more twitchy it seems. Mid vent, I believe you will be mine soon enough!

What cha got framing that standard?? Put a race frame in it and I'll bet you'll like it then!!!
Mid-vent -Nice!!!!!

[Joe B]

I've got Race Rods and 3 Wraps for my standard. Just noticing now by comparison how much more twitchy it can feel versus the full and mid vent... but you're right, I do like it very much when I'm running the Race Rods. Now I just want that extra sweet spot the mid vent offers in between the two.

[stroke survivor]

You'll like the mid very much!!!! Put the race frame in it, you'll like it even more!!!

Gotta say my favorite of the main line Rev's is the Vented 1.5B series with 4 wrap if the wind is up. It reverses beautifully and is nice and crisp on precision moves. If you are asking about all Rev's - I love inja Eyes bysp, responsive, with dream reverse flying - very hard to beat. Elliot Shooks web vent is also major league outstanding with the same attributes as the Ninja Eyes, and if the wind is up, the Extra Vents are very forgiving. yUpu look like you have been flying precision all your life. Reverse octagons are child's play. But I love them all, just match the kite to the wind conditions.

[Jynx]

Sorry can't list just one...

Love my Bazzer Eyez, and his Xtra-vent is totally unbelievable... along with my JB series!?

I refuse to choose!

B2
If there were Pro versions available I'd buy myself Pro B2's right now before I even thought about getting a Pro 1.5 set.

But I love all my Revs and they all have a purpose where I'd pull a specific one out the bag over any of the others .... a sure sign I'm FAR too sensible and need more

[fungus]

last sunday my fave was 1.5 vented - cause i had wind
the week before it was ZEN
not had perfect conditions for my new PRO B SUL yet

BTW do i need a PRO B VENTED or will i get away with standard B vent

fungus

as others say, can't choose, its the 1 that suits the conditions

[John Dvoracek]

as others say, can't choose, its the 1 that suits the conditions

Agree with all who say favorite determined by wind with some overlap:

A few to about 12 mph: Zen

8 to 20 mph: B-series (don't own B-pro)

12 to 24 mph: B-series full-vent

18 to whatever mph: B-series Shook mesh

I use the "flag" SUL mostly for special occasions. It has about the same range as the Zen plus a few mph.

If I could own only one kite and had to cover as many wind conditions as possible, it would be a B-series mid-vent with 2 and 3 wrap frames doubling the frames in heavier winds. Or maybe with just the new race rods based on what I have heard about them.

Favorite line is 120 feet 50# or 90# depending on the wind and if I am feeling lucky.

They all fly a little differently!

[dazlarsen]

It's tough to pick a favourite let's just say ALL OF THEM,flew this yesterday and it puts a smile on my face every time it comes out

[tommylurvebus]

Recently fallen back in love with my standard sail 3wrap. In the right wind there is nothing quite like it for true response . Well maybe. I have the standard pro with RRs on order.
