Guys: I have been riding your kites for three months now, and have nothing but good things to say about the kite. Rumor has it that you are using an old design. Is this true? It does not really matter, because the kite flies unreal. Just wanted to know if this rumor is true. Thanks.

Best get their kites from EH, we wont say where the EH design came from originally :evil: he has moved on in the design evolution so yes you could say it is an 'old' design but it certainly not a bad one. If you wanted the latest in that kite then buy EH

guys, all new kites are evolutions of old kites.

x4 x3 x2 arx ar5.

so all the designs are 'old', everyone has their favorite 'templates and ratios' that they use for the base of their designs and i would expect the only time a totally new design comes out is with a new range is released

the final cut for the best kites were signed off on earlier this year, the bigger sizes 18m+ were done in the past 2 month, so the kites are as new as you can get.

at the end of the day all of the kites on the market are based on the original wipika kites or developments there of.


shit we've all been driving round with the same car engines for nearly 100 years.

With the lack of wind here in Miami, I think Aruba is a good choice. Are you guys organizing a kiting contest during the Hi winds? Here it is summer, which means no wind. Acrually, rode yesterday for about an hour on the 13.5 Yarga powered. HighTimes; how do those best boots feel?
