Some images of the Zyzzle series (WindFire Foils) by Tim Elverston (thank you dean jordan). These kites have become our favourite kites to fly no matter what we want to do. Because of their unique shaping, they do tricks that many hard kites thought were their tricks. Fly-aways, center spins and even axels. Once they inflate, they keep their shape better that any other ram-air foil we've seen. The bridles are adjustable so the user can tune the kite even after the bridles stretch. They are also extremely light, the fabric is half-ounce polyester and the bridle is spectra (80# and 200#). We designed these kites because we were frustrated with the other kites that were "optimized for buggies." We sought to overcome these problems and create a kite that was truely designed for buggiers by buggiers.
