75k?! what a funny joke. I know about trying to limit liability but Cabrinha is saying that their kite is for tweezer butts only. I'm 100k and don't want to break the rules. I better stick to adult kites from now on. If this was for liability reasons only, shouldn't all kite companies put the same w...

I agree with X. The bias is due more to the fact that people love the kites. Windwing is not big enough to have sponsored people and paid forum trolls like many big brands seem to do, so the positive feedback is because that's the way they feel. I have kites of several brands, have paid full price f...

Well put Fo if the rider sheets in the kite (and every guy wants to, including me) it wants to pull back in the window and catch more air and thus pull you down wind. the harder it pulls the harder you want to pull back and have the tendency to pull in the bar even if you are OP'd. instead of gator ...

hey piakite I don't know why more people don't take advantage of the 30 day money back deal. Late last summer I bought a rapture 1 from windwing. I loved it and it helped my dweebing alot. but they were testing the protos and they looked great and when I asked one of the testers and he raved about i...

hey Troy Probably the person to answer that question is Bruno or one of the other designers, but I will give it a try. it is my understanding the main distinction is the concave trailing edge on the bow as opposed to other SLE (supported leading edge)kites where you get a flatter profile and depower...

Gotta go with X and put in my vote for the Rapture 2. So much cleaner setup. All the bow/sle kites seem to work well with their own little quirks. I like the simplicity and performance of the Rapture. When it's really steady I still like my c's but how often is it really steady?

I think it is possible for any kite to invert and my old RRD and even my yarga have gone inside out. After getting my windwing rapture2 I tried to invert the kite after reading all the posts.... no dice. could not do it even when Xbows in the area inverted. (BTW it doesn't look that scary as the rid...

Seems like plenty of people jumping on Reuben so here's my 2cents. I met Reuben at the gorge last summer. He was coming off the water and started up a conversation with me (middle aged and still dweebing) and helped me out. He's a good guy and from my experience an excellent ambassador for the sport...
