no, it's not an inflatable.

it's a dead end for your purposes, as well. you've already learned what this kite can teach you, all except for the bar and that's the easiest bit.

fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....

sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...

also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.

Yeah, this is a "water kite trainer" basically 2 control lines attached to a bar and a third line for safty. You don't want this kite unless you just want to learn how to steer and have never really flown before. Instructors for water like to use these before they give you a LEI that you can crash and destroy and could make you fly away

I'd just be happy with the "Flame" color scheme (or with the color distribution inverted) on the Rage :tumble:

Really no one flys open cell foils on the water. Most are on LEIs or closed cell foils like peter lynn and flysurfer.
