Wallend Air Foils...

Post by jeff »

I just got in the mail two demo Wallend-Air kites.

a 6m Vortex, which I believe is an open cell foil; and a 9m XXX which I believe is a "restricted" open cell foil.

Anyway, these are kites that I'll be flying at the Red Bull competition, and if you see me come on over and I'll let you fly them as well. The kites are "red, white and blue". Most of you may not have met me yet (I'm new here) so just come up and say hi. These kites are JUST making it onto the U.S. market, and so I've got them here to demo so I can decide if I want to buy them. Supposedly these are great inexpensive kites.

We'll see how they perform this weekend.

Yes...

The 6m is a good kite. It was way too small for the winds today.

The 9m I haven't quite figured out yet. I couldn't seem to keep it powered up. I think it was underpowered so my decision on that one is not in yet.
