I have only seen one bow style kite invert while it was actually being ridden and in the air, it was an underinflated Sonic.
What happened to Rich, and others is that they have crashed or somehow allowed the lines to go slack and the kite has rolled through the lines. Rich often will miss a trick and have the kite land LE down facing him, which some of you report as an invert??
Anyway he has so far always relaunched from that situation on the Switchblades, most riders will never get into this situation though as they do not ride like Rich.
From what I saw bows were the most used kites on the bay at Kurnell yesterday, and from the reports here were the most appreciated or enjoyed.
Yet to see a properly inflated Bow invert while actually flying.

Steve i don't know how often you actually kitesurf anymore, but i've seen in the order of 20-30 inversions.
Your experiences are an exception to what I and most people have seen.
Your saying you have never seen a crossbow invert but you have a sonic.
I've seen 30 inversions from crossbows and none from my sonic (12-30knots, all ranges of power and depower).
It seems weird that the kites operate differently on different sides of the country. Maybe theres like a coriolis effect happening or something.

I still kite a couple of times a week over summer, as I live and work right at the local spot, but that is not the issue here. There are dozens and dozens of bow kite riders here, and like I said I have never seen one invert while actually flying, other than a badly underinflated kite, of the brand you favour.
It is very strange that only the market leading brand is inverting, while actually just flying along and only in WA??
I can think of a phrase for the effect that might be the real cause........

Steve I think you just have to accept the fact that these kites do invert and maybe get out a bit more and watch it happen.
Its all over the kiteforums everyone is talking about it, even bow riders discuss it all the time as I kite with alot of bow riders.
Also steve the ratio was pretty even at kurnell , and dont forget airrush had their demo day and alot of people were testing out the halo and from all reports they loved the kite.
