kwmf Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 So what would you like to see comming out of Rev next year and what are you planning to get? Personally I think I'd like a vented Blast more than anything. I'm planning on looking into the Rev II / B2 side of things next year for a high wind toy. I love my Prism Micron dual line reflex tester, but I'm way better with 4 lines than 2 so a small rev in standard and vented are something I'm looking at. So what would the rest of you like outta Rev ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartman Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'm going to skip letters to Santa and go straight to the source. Looking for 3 new kites, but they won't make it before Christmas. The order will though! Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awindofchange Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Well, I wish for some better colors on the Supersonics and Shockwaves. I think a vented Blast would be received a lot better than a Rev II. And for the ultimate wish list....a Masterpiece 4-8!!!! he he he he he....

Guest plod38 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Just curious, I have just bought a SUL, but why isn't it offered as a B series? Probably a simple reason, and may have been answered before, but as a new member.............. I do fancy a Blast, but more colour options would be nice, especially if I could get one in Lime and Black to match my B series kites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmf Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Well, I wish for some better colors on the Supersonics and Shockwaves. I think a vented Blast would be received a lot better than a Rev II. And for the ultimate wish list....a Masterpiece 4-8!!!! he he he he he.... Totally agree about the sonic and shockwave needing some prettying up ... there isn't a single current color choice I like. I'm still not sure I would like one seeing as how I have a number of B's and Blasts, but the present colors is certainly something holding me back from trying one. I'd have to check again, but when I looked at the DVD that came with my Blast I recall wondering why the shockwave and sonic had a more complicated bridle than the Blast. I still don't think i'll get into the power revs, but you got the right idea - if you're going to dream then you may as well dream big. Make it a Bazzer dragon masterpiece 4-8 and we have a winner. Unfortunately that will likely send the poor man into a breakdown at the mere thought of it. I'm trying to think what other products I'd like rev to make... Anyone else for a vented blast???

portlandflyer Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Wouldn't a Rev 2 sized "B" series be a contradiction of intent??!! If the Rev 2 design is for speed, not precision, then what is the purpose of trying to make them more precise?? Aren't there enough choices in the 1.5 series to keep us happy?? I happen to like the differences in the designs, use the right kite to fill the daily need!! IMHO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodyspecial Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 A new frame for my B series... oh hold it you mean what I want to see rev do this year, Other then flourish even more, there isn't much i could think of that the capable staff at Rev can do on their own.

Squarehead666 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) I'd love to see the standard and vented B-Series Revs made available with with black centres.....Gold ones, in particular would be good! All the best Andy S. PS - I'd like to see a different graphic on the Blast 4~8.....The stealth bomber thing doesn't light my candle at all. Edited December 15, 2010 by Andy S.

jburka Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just curious, I have just bought a SUL, but why isn't it offered as a B series? Because there's not much weight difference between a standard B and an SUL -- polyester sails, 2-wrap frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Masterpiece 4-8!!!! he he he he he.... Why not go one step further and ask for a 6-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Vented Blast, it is great fun, highly reccomended. Becomes a precision kite in lower winds, still ripping fast in higher winds, just you can stand your ground a bit more.

If the Rev 2 design is for speed, not precision, then what is the purpose of trying to make them more precise?? My guess is the purpose would be to enhance the little bugger with the sail updates from the B series to make it smoother and prettier than it's present incarnation. Enhance the stability and precision, keep the speed, make it prettier and a general refresh all add up to a boost to sales for that model Perhaps some handles sized and shaped specifically for the size and 2 frames (race + something) and it sounds like a good idea to me. I don't get monster winds often enough to justify the cost of a Bazzer made Rev (Xtra Vent), but a factory made Rev II vented could make a welcome addition to my bag for those days.

REVflyer Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Because there's not much weight difference between a standard B and an SUL -- polyester sails, 2-wrap frames. Bazzer will make your B-series Pro as an SUL if you order it that way, any of the configurations. Be patient and get what you want, maybe a nice Valentine's Day present?

Back in the late '90s, they came with 9" handles, now they have 11"! The graphics and frame options sound good, so do the sail mods, but didn't they just change sail colors to match the SLE colors! And they do make a vented Rev 2!! Don't know the complete color options available!! I haven't flown any of the speed or power series yet, so maybe there is more to do over there!!

kwmf Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 @Wayne I think the SLE look on the rev ii doesn't look that great, but that could just be my opinion. As far as I know, the vented version uses the older pattern - Segwick style. You know how we all like our matching sets and that just don't match. The B pattern would allow vented and non vented to match as well as allow us to have matching Zens, 1.5 and 2's. The speed and power series are indeed another animal and rightfully deserve their own separate category. @everyone else I don't think we'll find a single person who doesn't want Ben back up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
