I want to know what other makes of Water Launchable kites I should look at other than Flexifoil and Peter Lynn. There must be some as I've seen kites made by other companies only I didn't make a note of their names. Who can help me track them down?

There are countless surf kite manufacturers these days, but I recomend sticking with the best... Cabrinha or Naish Kites. Both companies have websites listed in the LINKS section of this forum (manufacturers section).

Here is a directory with several kite stores that sell online. Many carry the kites I mentioned:

Also, Gaastra, slingshot, f-one

To many to mention. Personally Id go out and demo a GK SONIC!!! Nothing else quite compares!!

If your looking to stay with foils only-
Peter Lynn
Flysurfer
Viokite
Macpara makes a closed cell called the Neptune
Thats all I can think of off the top of my head.
