Hey I like the shape of that Best TS (for me that is, looks zephyry....
)...what do they fly like...what's their forte? Might be one to look into I feel.
Yes if Puppet gets a demo TS and GP in I'd love to try it too.
Here is the LF 2014 range
Yeh seem to have taken some of the C shape or curved it more at the wing tips. Interesting. Yeh love to try the nemesis as well being an edge rider. be a good comparison.
That vid, took them a minute or more just to rise from the water!! WTF.
Nice I suppose but no info, i'm after info. They could do any of those moves on any kite brand.

That wainman can't be a c kite it has a bridle 
From what people are saying on other forums, it gives you the option of flying without the bridle if your heart desires.
They have always done this on size 9m and smaller so I would expect the same of this...
If I had to guess, I'd say it will have loads of options i.e. V bridle or direct line connection (like the rabbit), and 4 line or 5 line. Can't wait to ride one!!!
will you be on them this season Pete?
Maybe?
I really like the rabbit's stability, grunt & relaunch. But if these ride better then its a no brainer. I haven't been on C's for a few years so I'm keen to ride them and see the difference. Wainman have R&D this kite for years, so I hope it's spot on.
There's a promo teaser trailer on their website hyping the C up so its pretty easy to get excited.

The bar - don't talk to me about the new bar, I,m happy with the current bar......I just want some new Reo,s.
Grabbing a LF envy and the new bandit (9m) for demo this Saturday from Jason, let ya know how they go over the next few days or so. Be interesting Jason reckon the bandit really impressed him. Boosting wise he was really surprised.
happy with my old ozone design bar, dont get caught up in all this new gear bull****, none of us have mastered an old kite so a waste of money
Had no problem with wear on the depower line on the 2013 bar Eppo compared to the 2011 bar. Looks like that problem has been solved with the plastic centre in the bar. No wax has been used and it still has a fair bit of life left in it.
Cabrina now have their 2014 gear up on their web site now.
Looks like they have broken down the gender barrier by ditching the girlie specific switch blade and made the whole range all with girlie colours.
sry juicerider, we wrote at the same time :-)
Only the Switchblade is avaidable in the Siren Models
It gives some Wildcard colors ... but it isn`t siren ;-)

Okay ta.
Naish have their 2014 kites and boards up on their website now, looks like they have a wakestyle board again
Bandit 7.........lets hope the white is just for cost cutting while building prototypes....?
I like the orange......pity the trim/cleat is still below the CL would be nice if they had it on the side and you could swap the flagging line to be on the top or bottom, think you can do this on the slingshot bar depending on if you are left or right handed.

seen the wainman fly, havnt flown it but by the amount it jellyfishes, twists and stalls, i really dont want to. I've never seen a kite jellyfish that much, not even old old c-kites or the old waroo's did it that much!
yea agree with Ewan saw the kite in europe and it looked pretty bad in the air. maybe they should get Lou back in the company to make the kite fly decent..
