  • The Miró is the big brother of the Mondrian, not a rescale of that kite but certainly speaking the same design language and with many of the same build features. At 2.6m the only current kite that compares would be the Transfer XT.s. It's a big kite that's aimed at pairs/team flying.

    The first time i saw the Sissy was at the TricksParty in Harsewinkel (Germany) in the fall of 2007. It was Sascha's prototype in Neon Pink Icarex (hence the name "Sissy"). Originally designed as an indoorkite, but it flew very well in the almost dead wind conditions that day.

It’s fair to say that Tim Benson doesn’t release a new kite until he’s completely happy with it.
