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]?

Foils -2 -12m [mostly PL & Pansh]

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.
