Hey, gave my mates 12m griffin a go last week. I didn't mind the kite to start with... until I ditched the kite into the drink. (I know I know DONT DITCH THE KITE) when I relaunched, the bridal was caught around the wing tip and things got ugly. I popped the safety but the flaggin line was one of the lines caught, so that didn't help at all.
I'm not sure if that was just a freak incident or is a common occurrence with these kites. I did a Google search and something came up about "bridal deflectors" but I couldn't get into the info.
I would like to give it another go this week, but will give in with this beast if it's a common fault.

Cool. Thanks for the insight.
I'll give it another go this week.
