Oh yes , still happy. It seems to me that brands having launched new medium ratio kites do not reach a similar low end. So... still happy.
IMO Existing Single skin are too small to gain low end vs pulsion 15m and lack of structures and LD ratios.
So if i had plenty of money, and waiting for potential promising kites like ninox in more than 15m2, i would buy and test a ozone xxlight in 19m (Single skin paraglider) . But it is too expensive for a hypothetic gain in low end

A zombie, a living dead? I hope it is not dead but hybrid design risks to combine bad properties of both; excess weight of foil kite and excess drag of single skin kite.
I designed few Ninox type kites but I couldn't make myself sure it is reasonable, more like it is not. I also had to stretch the use of design program to extreme for designing hybrid kites.
Peak4 is already a hybrid kite, but a conservative one
