Twintip MJ 135
By Prenault
Hi,
First try of the MJ 135 with straps in flat/choppy water and low onshore wind.
I was with my 13 Combat and was able to get some decent pop !
The thing goes very well upwind !

Comparaison Method V1-V2
Comparatif entre la method V1 & V2 en 9m
Les défauts qui étaient reprochés à la V1 ont vraiment été résolu.
La stabilité de l'aile au zénith a vraiment été amélioré. Il n'y a plus de décrochement lorsque l'aile est au zénith même dans du vent irrégulié. L'aile est vraiment stable en position statique alors que c'était le point faible de la V1.
La présence en barre sur la V1 est forte alors que sur la V2 elle est beaucoup plus faible sur le réglage - à tester le réglage + pour voir si on retrouve la même présence en barre sur la V1 et la V2 avec ce réglage.
La puissance reste identique entre la V1 et la V2.
Côté construction, il y a un peut plus de renfort sur la V2.

Switch Element 9m - Video
By Christian Johnson
First time on the Switch Element 9m. Overpowered at times. Should have been on a smaller kite but I wanted to test the top end of this kite. Still getting the timing down and haven't tested the unhooked performance yet but overall seems like a good kite so far

Method & Mini Car - Video
Marc Jacobs with help from the Switch kites team made a kite powered car.
Building a functioning eco friendly wind powered, zero emissions car was the goal.
Marc found an old rusting Mini so they took it to their workshop and put it on a diet stripping out all gear not needed motor, fuel tank, etc. Installed new bearings, anchor rails, a splash of paint and it was ready. They picked the New 15m Element kite to be the new power plant because of its grunt, safety and ease of use.
This video was filmed at Ohope beach in 15-25 knots. It was the vehicles first ever test run and everything went without a hitch and a top speed of 61km/h was recorded.
