I have a friend who is heading home via Hawaii. He will be hitting Maui next. He lucked out and got to borrow a kite in Kialua by launching landing
and begging :cool2:
Any tips on how to rent / demo / beg / borrow a kite in Maui ?
How can one Demo a Lou Wainman kite ???bigkahuna - 3-5-2008 at 06:30 PM
He'll probably have to do the same on Maui that he did on Oahu. Nobody will rent you a kite, and most dealers will only give demos to customers they
know or have dealt with before. Why doesn't he just pick up a cheap, used kite on Oahu, then sell it when he leaves Maui? He sure won't need a big
kite on Maui (biggest people fly there are 9 and 10m).Bladerunner - 3-5-2008 at 08:11 PM
He won't be spending enough time to do the buy sell thing. I had already told him about what you confirmed. Thanks though.
So....... What about the Lou Wainman kites ?????bigkahuna - 4-5-2008 at 04:04 AM

I have no idea. I would guess the best way to demo one of these would be to contact Lou before he arrives on Maui and set something up in advance, at
least that's what I would do.Bladerunner - 4-5-2008 at 10:14 AM
I'm actually hoping someone has an opinion or some hands on with these kites ! A demo is a bit much to wish for .
Lou has always done his thing HIS way. I expect his kites to be unique ?USA_Eli_A - 4-5-2008 at 02:47 PM
