What a waste of time.

do you guys ask yourself "How can we make this sport look even more gay?

Light wind kiting has been around for ever its called Sailing.

here, my personal new light wind kite - the pl twister 7.7 -- massive amounts of power even in 5 knots, but sadly also a slow truck that tends to collapse after a jump,if you don't watch it.

Code: Select all

+----------------------------+------+-------+------+------+-------+----+
| Kite                       |   A  |  pA   | pA/A | mass | m/pA  | UR |
+----------------------------+------+-------+------+------+-------+----+
| Peter Lynn Twister I       |  7.7 |  6.7  | 0.87 | 1.30 | 0.194 |    |
+----------------------------+------+-------+------+------+-------+----+
and a weight correction for the ozone zephyr from 5kg to 4.1 kg:

Code: Select all

+----------------------------+------+-------+------+------+-------+----+
| Ozone Zephyr 2009          | 17.0 | 12.7* | 0.7  | 4.1  | 0.323 |    |
+----------------------------+------+-------+------+------+-------+----+
can someone please approve this?
