"I broke out a fresh pair of 50' lines ... Laser Pro Gold (90# test) ... and set up the kite. I was astonished at how light and feathery the AZ is. Even a light breeze moves the kite around on the ground. A single pull on the leather finger straps literally rockets the AZ off it's wing tips and brings it right to the top of the wind window ... instantly ... as if it had a mind of it's own. A slight tug on one line followed by slack and it begins to slowly and gently helicopter it's way back to earth ... almost reluctantly. I've never seen such fluid motion from anything wrought by man." "As the nose points away you can pop both lines gently and then release ... which causes the AZ to lay on it's back ... nose toward you in a rising fade. You can hold the kite in that position for as long as you like ... reveling in it's ability to float (albeit upside down) on a breath of air. Astonishing? Not really. There are other kites that can do rising fades, but very few so effortlessly and with such grace, finesse and assurance. The AZ inspires confidence." - A. Stroh |
