WAINMAN HAWAII - RABBIT REVIEW - Kung Fu Pete

Wainman Hawaii kites hit Australia. Firstly I'm stoked to be flying the kites Lou has produced as he has been one of the most inspirational kiters in the history of our sport. And in true Lou Wainman fashion he has brought out an unbelievable product. The kites are called the Rabbit Series. They come in three sizes with each size having a different name and completely different graphics. Boss 12m, Smoke 9m and Gypsy 6.5. The reason is because each size is actually a different aspect ratio and different bridle set up, so that the small kites don't feel like a blowfly on string at the end of a stick. In other words all the kites perform the same. These kites are really fat. The centre strut on the 12m is about 7ft tall. They are really low aspect making them extremely stable, making it the most stable kite I've flown yet. They've got loads of grunt making them ideal for wake style. You can slow them right down so they sit in the one spot mid handle pass or speed them right up into a looping machine! I think loads of people will love them in the surf as they are really predictable and you can always feel where it is. The bar pressure is enough to feel where and what the kite's doing, but not heavy so your arms will not burn out. The 12m Boss is the biggest kite I'll ever need, getting me powered in approximately 12-15 knots, where in the past I've riding 15m in that kind of wind. I weigh 77kgs and ride a 136 with bindings. I've got the 12m Boss & 9m Smoke and definitely getting the 6.5 Gypsy. The bar is the cleanest no nonsense bar I've ever seen. These kites are really something else but don't take my word for it. Fly them coz you really need to find out for yourself. I predict a huge year for Wainman! I purchased my kites from STONKER in Torquay in Victoria or go to the Wainman website. I've attached the link to make easy for people who are keen to try them out.
