Having used a new flat LEI in the last couple weeks on snow, my response is a definite yes for snow (assuming that all flat LEIs are somewhat similar). So far,...
Although I do not own a flat LEI (bow kite) I have read forums regarding the kite inverting. Supposedly after that happens, there is little control in ...
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...
Hung, Could perhaps the inverting be controlled by adding a few more bridle lines that attach to points not on the leading edge of the kite such as that of a...
But wouldn't that make it like the Seasmik that we had few years ago? I would rate the new flat LEI as the way the future kites should be (both for water and...
As a beginner and just learning the sport Hung, could you point me to a history of different kite design and performance. Could you also give a few examples of...

Hung, How much difference is there between the "first generation" and "second generation" flat LEI kites? Are the second generation kites less flat such as the...
I personally have not used the first generartion flat LEI but via direct talk with others who have tried it, the differences mainly in relaunch problem, invert...
Thanks Hung. I appreciate the information. George ... === message truncated === __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of...
G'day Hung and George There is no such thing as first and second gen that is not an accurate way to describe the 2 types of kites that are being sold at the...
... 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...
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...

I went out to day with the Waroo 9m in strong wind probably in the 20 to 30 knots range. Other kiters get beaten up on 8m classic kites. Some doing OK on 7m ...
At Real in Hatteras this weekend, the two student intermediate team used a 5 M Waroo over a three day period in winds starting at 25 knots and ending gusting...
Hung, How is the workmanship and durability of the Waroo? Any problems with inverting? Can they be self launched? I've been thinking about buying a 16m or a ...

Amazing! I was in Hateras myself and riding the same wind with the 9m Waroo (actually with the 9m Waroo on Saturday and Monday but with the 5m Grunt on Sunday...
George, I would say it is OK. It may not be the best in quality but workmanship and durability should be OK. I have never seen my Waroos inverted. Self-launch...
I rode my 16m Waroo today in wind where other kiters were using 16m Waroo and classic LEI 17m. In the end, there were only two 16m Waroos left flying and I was...

For flat kite, you normally don't need a safety leash in most conditions as you can use the chicken loop as the safety leash. However, in way overpowered...
