Are new flat LEIs worth it?   Message List

RE: [ksurfschool] Are new flat LEIs worth it?

I guess thats because most of the problems are not real problems Hung. The
"problems" have been blown out of proportion by pimps for other brands
that did not or do not have a bow kite.
So some "problems" are not problems at all, and therefore do not need to be
fixed.

All the flat and bow kites on the market have been out for max 6 months so I
think it is a bit premature to be calling any of them second gen yet.

Cya and

Goodwinds

Thanks Steve. Sounds like Bruno did confirm the initial minor problems
in the first batch of his bow kites (as I heard directly from other
kiters) and agreed with me that those minor problems can be overcome.
Why did he stated MOST and not ALL? Aren't they pretty straight forward
to fix?

Hung.

George, Some flat LEI kites have the invert problems due to their flatness. The flatter the kite, the more it tends to invert. I think that all future flat...
