The top thin red and white one is a very high aspect one produced by the paraski-flex guys. When my buddy Mike was still living in Canada and doing a
lot of the WISSA competitions we talked about them when they first came out. Mike was really impressed with the performance they got out of them. I
was only at one event a few years back in Quebec in the winter when I had a chance to try one but there was zero wind that entire weekend. I don't
know if they actually have that as a regular retail option to buy or just custom made for their own team riders.
If you see the set up on the paraski-flex at first you'd think at first it looks like it would be basic performance like a NPW - but wrong - very user
friendly, I've seen events where they get huge numbers of people up and going with very little instruction and experience overall - they have some
nice pop and float and for racing that high aspect ribbon works good.
The middle one is a Russian foil mentioned on another recent thread, Denise wrote:

7.4 aspect raio, 63 cells, a BEAST !"
The top kite is a Paraskiflex batwing which was only available to their race team. Here's a pic with the Paraskiflex logo on the kite. http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2339985&... The kite was supposed to be very fast.B-Roc - 14-1-2011 at 07:06 AM

Holy crapoly that's a lot of cells :wow: Thing must be about as rigid as a foil can be in the sky.
