I fought yesterday, but whenever I put my helmet on my weak headache turned into a migraine, so I only fought Gui and Oscad before I got out of armor. I really don't know how I was fighting, because the pain was making me dizzy and nauseas. I think I won a few fights.
I've decided to turn my 37 inch kite into an experiment, I'm fitting it with both a center grip and straps, and I'll play with both to decide what I want to do. I will end up with a 40" aluminum kite, but I don't know if it will be strapped or center grip (I'm leaning toward the latter).
Beau Geste was yesterday too. Info on that can be found here.

40" is too long for a centergrip, I think. Not that it's esthetically distasteful or unchivalrous or anyting, I just think that it will poke way down below your knee, or if you put the boss lower, it will completely blind you.
I often fight with a centergrip 40" "oval" scutum... it is BIG, but it's also 30-odd inches wide.
The "Western" c.g. kites are pretty much all 24"x36". Maybe a little wider. The key mod Titus made is to move the boss DOWN a few inches from the "center of radius" to give a little more passive head defense. Note that if you buy them cut, they will be wrong. I guess on a 40" they might be right!
