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!

That's cool Randy, are you going to try and find an old lei to modify?

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.

Just hold onto the wingtip. They have handles.

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.
