Cuben Skate -- Howie Bashant at Wash Park Rec Center -- Jan 25, 2012

Flyer's Notes: Shot from a distance on tripod.

You can see how this kite almost flys itself -- like a sweet dream. I love this kite.

Thank you Paul and Hunter for letting it go.

Music: "Sky" -- Composed and Performed by Patrick Hawes.

@deuidicibus I'm glad you like the video. The Skate is really remarkable. Thanks for subscribing to my channel. What is your name? The usernames don't tell much. Again, thanks for the remarks.

so lovely, especially those little magical glimpses of blue when the kite is sails past the light in the ceiling. Pretty music, too.

@kiteglider So, here's the deal on the Cuben. Paul and Hunter made the Cuben Skate as a prototype to test the kite with that fabric when they were first developing the Skate. This is that prototype. It was the only one they made. When the Skate went into production they never used the Cuben fabric. So, this the only Skate made with Cuben fabric. I'm just the lucky guy that wound up with it.

Great!

Does Focuskites makes Cuben sails, or have you replaced the sail?
