Mantis...
"The Mantis is loaded with attitude in a smooth flying platform that flyers have come to expect from a Blue Moon kite. Straight lines, sharp corners and flowing curves are all part of the package as are the more advanced tricks that flyers have been incorporating into their flying kit bag over the past few years. Backspins, Jacob's ladders, yo-yos, and Lazy Susan tricks are packaged in the Mantis right alongside the flat axels, 540s and Slot Machines. Cascades and Flic Flacs are drop dead gorgeous and solid.
The line-up of ultra-light, standard and vented Mantids offers both competition and recreational flyers a total kite package for the full range of wind conditions."

please be patient, colorizers may load slowly (not showing?)

Move your cursor over a color, click to pick it up, then click on a panel. Please note that the colors shown are subject to availability.
In Windows, to send the image from the colorkite page, hit alt+print screen on your keyboard. This copies the active (pop-up) window to the clipboard. You can then paste it directly into an email. You can also paste it into any imaging program, then crop and save to the format of your choice. If you do crop it, please include the palette bar.
On Mac OS X, pressing Command-Shift-3 takes a screenshot of the entire screen, and Command-Shift-4 takes a screenshot of a chosen area of the screen or if you press Space afterwards you can choose a window on the screen to individually screenshot. These images are saved to the desktop, but if you hold down the control key with the rest of the keyboard shortcut, the pictures are copied to the clipboard instead. (from Wikipedia)
