Product review:
The Rev2 has adjustable bar pressure so it can be set to be lower, the same, or more than the Rev1 based on the rider's preference. The kite also has some serious hang time for jumping and the larger sizes 13m and 15m are faster and eaiser to fly than the Rev1! The Lunacy board was awesome; with great pop and upwind ability the new 135cm size will be perfect for gulf coast riders. FInally, the 4-line Fuel was easy to relauch and super fast through the window with the fastest kiteloop speed of any kite on the market (why Ruben rides it!). The kite can be relauched by pulling on both rear lines and flying it up off the water backwards! For more review email us at houston@xlkites.com or call 281-508-6485.

Kiteboarding back to the Levee in Texas City

Kiteboarding is back at the Levee in Texas City!
After weeks of bureaucratic delays, we finally got the right people in the Galveston Couty office in charge of clean-up in touch with the correct Texas City folks and heard this morning they are opening the Levee riding area tomorrow.

Kiteboarding in Houston
The Levee's opening was delayed partly due to increased vandalism. Please be extra polite and respectful to any officers or park service folks you see working down there. I have promised them that no problems will be caused by kiteboarders. Also, the Levee may be shut down again soon if the destructive vandalism and recent problems don't stop. I know we're not the issue, but we all need to help police the folks outside the kiting community. The Levee is back; lets keep it that way!!

Keep in touch
The XLKITES truck will be at the Levee all weekend! See you out there! We will have a grand opening event and Slingshot demo as soon as we can plan it. Stay tuned. Call us for details or new or used kiteboarding equipment at 281-508-6485 or houston@xlkites.com
