2009 Wainman Gypsy 6.5m
Fun little kite for really strong winds. I really like it in 30+, with a twintip, and going for big boosts with loops thrown in. What I didn't like is
how it behaved in the waves, with a surfboard, so I want to get a 6m Rebel instead. But its a very playful kite with huge amounts of depower, and for
its shape it goes upwind very well.
Flown 6 times, no wear or repair, fabric is still crispy. Lost one of the bridle pigtails, so I made my own, otherwise no issues.
No bar.
$575 + shipping.

Ditto with tridude, wondering your thoughts on the wave ridding issues. Wainmans are super kites! Great deal!
But... Any chance you want to sell your 12 m psycho 4?

Tri..I didn't like the way it liked to hindenburg when the lines go slack. Usually when the winds are that strong, the waves are also pretty huge and
it sucks when I made a mistake and the kite would end up in the water. I tried it with the bridle and without, and prefer single line but still it
just wouldn't be as stable as my rebels. I guess the hindenburg is a safety feature on flat water, but in the waves def not something good.
Fish..The Psycho4 is sold!
