To bad there is no one on the forum that makes them.

Great video, a couple of thoughts spring to mind having just read The long thread [~3 years and counting] on Susan's constructions.

-Are they flying those only as 2 line? Being in my experience a very Brake intensive kite I can not imagine flying for traction purposes on only 2 lines much less as a beginner/ training kite.

-Not teaching people with safety mechanism [kite killers]?

Yeah they had a wrist leash on, I saw that - it's how I teach the wife on her little foil ...

The vid must be old school. It is a must that you fly a nasa wing with 4 lines. Flying two lines you do not have much control. I have been making and flying nasa wings for over 5 years and always fly with 4 lines.

Newbees with a leash but no other safety stuff. Soft sand I guess.
I didn't know a NPW would control at all on 2 lines. I guess it is pre set for just enouph pull to move slowly:wow:
