I I think these are shots of next year’s Fuel in Ruben’s hands for testing. Who knows. BUT, it looks like some LE shape changes (curved wingtips) and a major graphic change to the old striped Fuel kite. The Fuel has been pretty stable the past couple years so maybe they are giving it a redesign to address any renewed C kite interest. ?Ruben had a good C kite response in an interview I read with him last year. He basically said that it is the wingtips that hold you in a kiteloop. So, he could never do the types of loops he does on a bow kite, as when the kite is on its side there is not wing edge to keep you from dropping. (or something like that) Anyway, that is the first time I heard a technical answer to Cs vs. Bows.
