Gaastra Spyder Tested

Got the kite this morning, took it str8 out for testing, both myself and one of my team rider Rhys Porter. Conclusion from first day of testing -

Pros
Impresive bag and lining, great design
Impressive quality on kite
Impressive design - in a flash one would mistaken it to be a sonic, battens like the waroo pro
Good pump with alloy shaft n pressure gauge
Kite flying - good light pressure on bar, feels very similar to a Liquid Force Havoc and Waroo
Fast on turning - responsive, feel pretty much like a standard waroo
Handled gusts pretty well, never tried to invert even in big gusts
Great solid hangtime.

Cons
Bar unbalanced - had to shorten line on one side

Will keep testing it and forward you any other feedback we discovered or other riders may have.
