Blighty is back, and this time we mean it. An update of what seems to going on in the UK scene.

Dot Designs

John Taylor of Dot Designs has finally released a photo of the forthcoming Shaman:

Dot Shaman

All we know is what we said before - 3 point bridle and a p100 frame, and we get the impression very pitchy without weight. Dot is also working on updates of the Darkside (p100 frame and other modifications) and the Nitrik.

Airdynamics

Hot on the heels of the T2 Solo review, Peter Taylor keeps dropping hints about what he is working on next. The update to the Solo has whet our appetites. but it is enough to say that Airdynamics is not resting on its laurels.

Photo's of the new 'C-Class' have been drifting about the net and we have nothing new to offer. In short we are looking at a mid size kite with a deep sail and great yo-yo stoppers. Check out Andy's latest video to see it in action.

Andy Preston

Andy has dropped us a line to tell us about his plans for next year:

"The new kites will be called the ROTOR, and will come in 2 sizes, full size and about a 78% version. Different to the Tribal and more Stranger like in stopping response with a lot more new age trickyness. Ill get one to kHiTe as soon as I get the pre production prototypes"

It is good to see one of the most influential kite designers ever back in the game. Watch the space for more information as and when we get it.
