I saw these very innovative Revolution kites online so I bought one.

I’ve been kitesurfing for a while so I thought it would be easy, but it’s not. Take a look at the videos on their site – they make it look so easy! On the plus side it’s a great challenge for days when it’s not windy enough to kitesurf, but at the moment I’m still in the frustrating spend-more-time-crashing-than-flying stage. The degree of control is amazing but they are very sensitive, so even the slightest movement has a major reaction.

Anyway – check out the vids on their site to see how it’s meant to be done – I’m still a long way off :-)

A good example of how radical innovation isn’t always as easy to adopt as we may hope…
