Wainman Kites

TNT dropped of the New Wainman kites from Hawaii in the week and Mark took one straight out for a play - The Boss, is a great name for this kite, you get a shed full of low end grunt, for a 3 strut kite it really shouldn't be as stable as it is. I did have to adjust the back lines to make them shorter at the bar end and also at the kite end, as I found the kite had the feeling it was going to frontal tuck without a little pressure on the back of the kite, the kite is silly fast and looping a kite that feels like it has the power of a 15m is just silly. The bar is simple, maybe even basic, the safety is so basic, just a ring up on a center flying line, this is quite a way up above you, so the leash is a bit in the way, maybe better to just clip on to deep power loop and ride it as a suicide setup. The Boss has a fat leading edge and I guess gives the kite great lift, from the difference high low pressure as the wind tracks around it, the long centre strut gives the canopy mega hang time in the jumps. This kite is not for the feint hearted, as it gives a shed full of pull, and feels a little on/ off in its power delivery, I cant wait to try the small ones for wave riding.
