New Use for Trashed LEI Kite


Say you have a LEI kite that is badly damaged on one side. Don't throw it away. :D

that was not a kite originally though. that looks like a production sail, plus its symetrical

Mood: chilled....but ready to SAIL!

man that really cuts down mast/boom and rig set, range might be limited , those guys are just cruising in light air.

with an inflatable SUP man ..that makes it less than kite kit!

thats great!

Funny thing is - I do have a friend that has 9 meter LEI that has a leak he can't fix (after months of trying and wasting a lot of money.) He said he might give it to me to make kites out of. So who knows. I thought looked kind of lame though, perhaps not as crazy as the water kiting I've been doing. :D

Not sure if that can actually be done however, Not being symetrical could be a problem.

Here's a new version of this inflatable sail. Seems like they have made the concept a lot more appealing.

I give the promotional video an F. They should have stuck with the scantily clad woman all the way through the video.

Yeah - it really did go downhill after a while. I guess I won't buy one.
