Low flying acro

Hey Guys and Gals

I am towing over water on an Acro3 harness and Octane FLX2 22m wing. I have thus far deployed my Gin OneG reserve #38m which has a sink of 4.3m per second with a max loading of 100kg (my inflight load is 85kg). Both times I hit the water, I think I would have broken some bones.

I train over the water for 2-3 months of the year on weekends and then train only 300m agl (above ground level) for another 6-8 months of the year.

Thriller 2014 version?

Hi

Does anybody know if U-Turn plan to release a 2014 version of the Thriller in the near future?
I'm planning to order a new acro wing but I'm looking for something more stable in the infinite tumble than the Thriller X3, and I wouldn't want to order an old model just before they updated it. ;-)

Cheers.

choosing the right harness

i currently fly a woody valley xpression m and find its alright for most of my flying but its too lively for learning acro.
so i picked up a second hand acro 3 L the older version but found it was to large.
i have test fly the acro 3 M latest model and found it was to small and are there any difference with the newer and older models in size.
i'm 186cm and 87kg
has anyone had much time with the new sol wasabi 2 ?
