For a no-wind day: Banshee Riverboards -
Take a bungee cord, stretch it 200 feet, let it yank you upriver, and play in a river at 30mph. Watch out for rocks, eddies, and the other guy's bungee, OK?

EH Cabarete's Beast
Wednesday, September 13, 2006EH Cabarete's new bowkite 'The Beast'.
The Beast
Very gentle flyer compared to the more high aspect EH Rippehr. This kite has insane lift! More of the forgiver lower aspect version of the Rippehr.
Here is what Eric the designer himself has to say
RippEHr has come to proven it self to be the kite for the extreme riders, its speed and power can be dangerous for the uninitiated, but for the experts, advanced riders and especially for the unhooked riders,(video), a dream come true, the easy and precise handling of its power combined with the vastly increased hang time plus huge range make even the most difficult trick look easy. But the not so experienced complained that it is to fast and my distributors asked me to start working on a mellower all round bow kite that is easy to use for all.
Rippehr versus Beast Aspect Ratio difference
So Cabarete's windy spring and summer brought us a new kite, I mellowed out the Ripper by giving it a lower aspect ratio and a deeper profile. This gives "The Beast" better low wind pull while the advanced alignment allows a huge wind range. The low AR and the extra profile make the kite a powerhouse. For some reason, and this caught me by surprise, this combination gives the kite an incredible lift resulting in increased hangtime and inrcedibly soft landings.
The Beast is a low AR Bow kite has good low end grunt that will forgive most common pilot errors, it has a huge range plus smooth gradual depower and gives you the feeling you are riding I a comfortable Mercedes Benz. The perfect kite to learn how catch big air and to cruise around on the weekends.
The Beast is build to outlast its competition, the kite is cut with the EH panel cut, for profile stability and long life. All fabrics and materials used are the best value for your money and used in a manner to get the most performance out of them. All EH kite are extensively tested in Cabarete waters by some of the most demanding riders and inflated at the factory to top of quality control.
