What's this? Looks exciting. BUT I hope it's not just another kite brand, with same old LEI designs.

A very longtime ago people were thinking with their brains and pushing the limits of design, ideas and risks. Today? Meh... just pulle the quick-release and go home for a beer.

Apparently they're foil kites and they've bought Banga to get foils for racing. A little more searching shows Enata Industries as a Dubai based company.

I could be wrong but I dont think they will manufacture LEI kites. Looking at their portfolio, they more interested in yachts and amercia's cup type products than trying to come into a saturated market.

Enata kites started with Maxime Nocher (one of the top foil racer) leaving Fone last year and ridding those prototypes. They also have Hans Bollinger in their team, known in the paragliding and kite racing (fone).

Enata group (www.gtcat.com) has 3 branches - industry, marine and aerospace, from switzerland originally and now based in Dubai.

Enata Marine started Enata kites but also bought the italian Banga foil (known to be super fast)
They are working with Hydros specialised in foil for the Amrica's cup boats ...

Looks like a winning team with lot of money.

Hey Forum,
Enata Kites here. Thought we'd drop in answer some questions and get to know the foiling community on this end.
Enata is owned by a Singaporean investment group, including Swiss company Hydros who designed the original Banga foil. So essentially Enata created the Banga foil. Banga is no longer in existence. Our factory is based in the UAE where we're producing our foils and boards and we aim to expand into further products and gear soon. Created for competitive athletes and riders, our custom designs and produces kites, foils, and boards that enhance performance and speed - both in and out of the wave. We know our brand has been associated with Maxime Nocher, but this is incorrect. He was a team rider for a period, but his contract was terminated due to misconduct. He, nor his family are owners of the brand. We hope this clears up some confusion.

We love answering questions and helping raise awareness of this awesome sport. So if you have any queries, drop us a message on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/enatakite/

I am Luca Filippi (Banga), and I'm writing to discredit what has been written in the previous comment, namely that @Enata has realized my foil. The original project of @Banga which designed @Hydros (Enata still did not exist) was completely different from the final winner of the world championships in China and Qatar. Initially this project was completely structurally and aerodynamically wrong and it made it hard to navigate for real!! The various changes and evolutions I have accomplished alone without the Hydros help in 16 months of hard and passionate work day and night. I did 5 different stabilizers, 3 wings and 3 fuselage to get to the final ones. To demonstrate what I say, I tell of the failure of the new Taaroa RS project. This was also designed by Hydros, and with the Banga experience it had to "fly" from the first moment.... Unfortunately, this also had great structural and performance problems. (Sorry Martin...) The foil made by me in Enata is nothing of new but only the evolution of my Banga, and nothing new one is designed in Dubai....
