my email is playing up so if your keen for the kite call me on 0414180658.

Anyone seen footage of that windwing kite doing loops for some dude just standing on the beach. From what i hear they done some pretty amazing stuff with being able to up the tension on the power bar sort of like the drag setting on a reel when you go fishing. sounds hot. anyone tried it yet?

I heard when depowered the turning is almost gone,something to do with the system.
The video makes them look good but the sound track scares me

Hi,
I fly WW with the SAFE system. They are amazing and allow you to handle all conditions with confidence.

NJP don't know what you heard or saw but that's not true if you depower the kite traditionally via the cleat, then steering is still available. IF you are depowering by sheeting out you can depower the kite 90%. Steering is not at that time available BUT as soon as you sheet back in slightly full control is available.

The price looks right
Cant say i am convinced its a good system though.

For some time I've been doing some silly stuff with my 5th line and falling directly upwind of rocks,sliders....Not sure if the ww system will safely do this?
Could you tell me?

I have used 5th for 2 years and havent split my kite in half.Everyone says I will but never have?

Please Register, or first...
