Nice graphics on the kite!

You should find a North American distributor to try to sell some on this side of the pond:)

Would be something to behold.... The kites even getting over here. Kind of like the buggies.

Those big turns where it looks like the kite is doing a big arc while changing direction. Are those called suicide gybs??? None the less they look well executed. Anyway that was a real nice video. Add another for really liking those graphics.

I get a bit confused between MG and Cooper ? MG puts out the buggies and Cooper the kites? I thought the 2 companies were as one ? Can somebody put me straight on that? I can see I'm not getting the relationship.

Is this an MG kite or a new model of Cooper? We have had great results here with Cooper but don't have any exposure to MG.

I can give you the answer, me Maarten de Graauw is now MG kites.
My first design was the Cooper. This kite was build by siegersvliegers in Holland.
Only i was not happy with the quality and we had made some agreements but he did not kept his promises.
I stopped the cooperation with Sieger and started my own company, MG Kites.
I now make the Aero kitebuggy the Aerobic freestyle buggy.
For the kites we have the Sniper (intermediate) and now the Mumba (expert racekite)
The kites are now made by a factory for paragliders, so high quality.
So please, there is no relation between the cooperkite and MG kites.
They now abuse my good design to go on with.

This spot is Les Hemmes in France, close to Calais.
Very nice place when the water is low.
Length of the beach is around 15 km and 2 km wide...
