No prob, Bruno. Thanks for clarifying that for us. Its great to see you are watching the forums. I am happy corrected where incorrect, especially on an assumption like this. Unfortunately, I only compared the two while they were inflated and they looked identical when side by side.
The shockwave definitely doesn't have a concave trailing edge but unfortunately it cannot be seen from this picture. This is the one I tested.

Bruno Leg....
We all appreciate your evolution of the sport but I don't think those coconut attachment points will ever take off.

I agree that knives or screwdrivers would be more efficient than coconuts for tightening the TE but not sure the owner would appreciate

Thank you, Bruno, for the revolution of the sport. I find more performance and safety and fun with the BOW design.

Bruno –
Is the Nova your favorite kite thus far?
This one I have not flown yet, but would like too. I find all the new high projected kites very nice to fly.
I completely agree that these designs are a major step towards safety and performance.
Thanks for posting,
John B.
