JN DaVinci Bat SLE 12m²
They where as fast as it gets, super stable, and I still use them. Still got my 15m² and 8m² as well.
Floating battens and all.
I'll miss them when they go one day

Awesome kite in light winds, even many years after its "birth"

Re: Vintage kites that are still relevant
Thought you might get a kick out of these. The 1st photo is of our 2004 Bronco, Zen and Mako boards and the next 3 are of the very 1st kite our head of design, Ross Harrington made back in 1998. Yes, it flew and yes, he took it on the water. Once.

Re: Vintage kites that are still relevant
You must have owned some really crappy bow kites, if the wind range was better with the Fueldrone wrote:Riding SS Fuel 06 15m2, better wind range&stability then bow's i owned
Is it newer bow kites (= SLE kites today), or some from 2006 you are comparing to ?
Seems very very odd, unless you got some bad ones....
