If your flying could use a shot of adrenaline, then this is your kite!  The Spica Pro has high acceleration and speed coupled with awesome freestyle trick capabilities.  Near pivot spins, excellent balance & recovery from back flips plus great flic-flacs, yo-yos, cascades, double axels, 540's and 900's (and much more!) are in this kite's repertoire. 

Yet, despite the Spica Pro's radical personality, tracking is still very good with just enough stability to hold beautiful stalls and side slides - something typically not possible with those high-aspect "trick only" models.

Further adding to the Spica Pro's versatility is a wide wind range.  Experienced flyers will have no problem with light breezes down to 3  m.p.h. yet this model is robust enough to handle winds up to 20 m.p.h.  To reduce pull and speed on high wind days, airbrakes are available as an optional accessory.  These airbrakes can also serve as "training wheels" while teaching novice flyers in moderate breezes.

And don't overlook the quality.  Let's face it, most 3/4 size kites use inferior materials and workmanship in an attempt to reduce the cost and target the beginner market.  Not true on the Spica Pro!  This kite employs the most expensive and durable ripstop polyester on the planet in conjunction with the awesome Easton Hi-Modulus Graphite spars.  Make no mistake, this is an enthusiast's kite for those that appreciate performance and quality.  

Quite simply, the Spica Pro is an amazing value for an American made custom kite!

The latest version of the Spica receives some extra construction refinements along with some extra sail panels (hence the addition of 'EX' to the name!).

While numerous flyers have praised the Spica's flight performance and quality, some have also requested that the kite's aesthetics be enhanced.  To this end, the sail panel layout was revised.

These new graphics really alter the kite's appearance and enable a lot of appealing new color combos.  In addition, the sail can be upgraded with an optional appliqué.  This will give your Spica that added custom touch and provides a beautiful stained glass appearance.  Below are some suggested color layouts:
