Never satisfied that what they are making is "good enough", Sky Shark is improving on their rods .. again. Below is a copy of the post Jon Trennepohl made to the GWTW Forum:
"We have made some changes in our line up of tubes for kites and hobby.
We
no longer have P200 and P400 tubes . We have replaced them with the
new PX series. The P1X, P2X and P3X have the same ID and OD and the
same length of 32.5" The only difference is the weight, they are a ½
gram heavier then the current p series. They have a woven diamond
pattern and they are 15 to 20% stiffer . You may be asking why are the
PX tubes stiffer. The answer is that these tubes have a higher modulus
of carbon
At this time we have plenty of P90, P100 and P300 tubes in stock.
In
regard to the newer P100 black finish tubes that were used in the E3
Prism kites, as Mark Reed stated, the old P200's and the new black
P100's were very close in weight and stiffness. Mark really did
explain it perfectly on the prism forum.
Other new tubes coming soon.
We
will be coming out soon with a new 42" straight tube that will have the
same internal diameter as our Nitro tubes. We will also be producing a
new tapered nitro tube at 42".
We hope this update answers some
questions that have arisen but if you have any further questions please
do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your continued support
and use of Sky Shark Tubes."
The new P2X and other Sky Shark products can be found HERE
Sorry these updates are so few and far between. Trying to do better, really I am.
Here is a run down on some current items.
The Flying Wings Aerobe is expected in shop by this Thursday. That means if you pre-ordered one your new kite should ship by Saturday at the latest. If you missed out I do have a few available (as of this writing). Order yours here Yup, you'll be paying $10 more than the folks that cashed in on the pre-order deal, but hey ... shipping is still free (US addresses only)
Did you miss our special offer on the Prism Banners? Bummer .. they are possibly the nicest banner I've seen. Normally I'm not to thrilled about branded merchandise but I gotta say that these banners were spectacular. All due to the unique fabric that was used to make them They have a truly special look as they seem to flow gracefully in the breeze.
Am I bumming you out? Well I ain't saying, I'm just saying that there may be hope for you in the near future. There, I've done it again ... probably said more than I should. Well, stay tuned. If you aren't already a forum member you should be as most all the special deals show up there first. Take a minute and sign up now.
While I have the attention of all the Prism fanboys (and girls) out there let me also add that there is something very unique coming soon. Never made available to the public before and only available from us. If you are way into Prism and think those banners are cool you will certainly be jealous of those that are quick enough to respond to this upcoming special offer.
And now for something completely different ... We are finally back in stock on the Clown Fish Ocean Mobile.
If you aren't familiar with these they are a really interesting way to add color and motion to your office or home. With the slightest movement of air they appear to actually swim. We stock a whole aquariums worth of fish, but the Clown Fish is our most popular (thanks to Finding Nemo). Take a look at out full selection HERE ... bet you can't order just one.
A must have for the serious sport kite enthusiast (whether you fly Prism's or not)!
This is a handy assortment of the things you need to perform common field repairs on most stunt kites. Packaged in a drawstring pouch, kit includes a handy booklet that will show you how to fix or improvise solutions for just about anything that can go wrong with your stunt kite – so don’t leave home without it!
KIT CONTAINS: • Tedlar sail repair tape • Adhesive-backed cloth sail patches • Sleeving kit for broken flying lines • Assorted spar ferrules • Assorted elbow fittings • Assorted standoff fittings • Heat-Shrink spar stops • Assorted wingtip nocks • Bridle line • Bridle pigtails • Razor knife • Instruction booklet • Drawstring travel pouch
I am finally getting around to adding the "non-kite" related merchandise to the store. I created the category FUN STUFF for these novel items.
First things in are the Ocean Mobiles from HQ. These are really cool mobiles that are ideal for home and office. They actually appear to "swim" through the air as they react to air currents. Only $15 each ($20 with shipping to the US). Of course smart shoppers will figure out that if you get 2 for only $10 more you can take advantage of our free shipping offer (US addresses only).
Finally got to have a conversation with Flying Wings about their new Aerobe glider kite and was able to get clarification on the colors available. Initially the info was that the gray would not be available ... but it will indeed be in the shipment. So if you have already ordered one and would prefer the gray let me know right away and I'll make the change.
Also, and most importantly, I was told that the initial shipment will be limited and I need to get my order in right away so in order to ensure that you get one from the first batch I need to get your pre-order NOW! I will be placing my order by the end of the week so to make sure you get one of the first of these email me immediately.
Flying Wings new single line
“glide kite” ... The Aerobe is expected in stock by the end of August!
It is made with a nylon
ripstop sail, 3mm carbon frame, and comes with 90lb x 160ft flying line and a 1.5 inch wide,
150 ft long tail. The tail can be attached to the kite wing tips as a U-tail, or
be attached to the spine end as 1 long tail.
We will be taking pre-orders for these so stay tuned.
Aerobe is designed to “glide”
in indoor, outdoor, no wind and low wind conditions. It is very balanced
and can be controlled to glide elegantly by pulling or releasing the flying
line.
It only seems like waiting for Christmas ...
Finally we have virtually all the new Modulus line sets available.
Lowest price we can offer and free shipping on all but the 50/75's.
As it seems with most anything that Prism puts out these days there is a lot of talk about these lines ... some good, some not so good.
I've said it before and i will state it one more time ... this line is made by Laser Pro, one of the most respected manufacturers of kite line. If you have flown Laser Pro Gold you already know what this line is like. Only difference I can spot so far is that these lines are perfectly equalized and they come on one of those cool Prism winders.
Find your length and strength combination HERE
... if you are flying any of your single line kites on twisted lines here is a chance to upgrade to some top quality braided Dacron at 40% off list price.
This line also makes excellent sleeving.
We only have a limited amount of this line available so grab what you need NOW!
Prism's top of the line performance sport kite is available for special order now. The Standard or SUL versions are available in all colors (as of this moment). Vented? No promises but there may be a limited run later in the year.
If you need one of these competition level kites drop me an email and I can get one in the works for you.
We are offering them at $290 for the standard and $315 for the Super Ultra Light. You will probably need a weight kit for the standard and that can be added to your order for just $25.
We do offer free UPS Ground shipping for deliveries to US addresses.Offer includes kite and stylish storage sleeve.
