Anyone have any experiance with Windwing kites? Found a 18m somewhat close to me for a desent price. Im looking for a light wind kite for land and water. I have been using a V13 in a buggy and want to try a big LEI in the water.

Hey Ryan,
I never had one but I flew a 12 meter windwing around a year ago. I don't recall what model it was, but it was around a 2008 year kite. Windwing is a sail/windsurf sail maker from Berkley Ca. I was impressed with the kite when I flew it. It was set up as a 5 line very similar to the north rebel. I could tell there was alot of thought put into the design. Sorry for no real specifics in my memory on which kite it was, but I would still stay away from pre 2007 kites.

Had 06 Rapture2 16.5m +/-One.
Well build, good depower and stable.
Used it in winter as a low wind kite.
Very flat in the middle (6 struts), it felt a lot stronger than 07 Waroo 17m I got after it.

Batwing looks interesting, especially advertised wind range !!
