Does anyone know if there is a Wainman dealer in the Sydney area where I can demo Wainman kites. I am considering getting a quiver (7.5, 10.5) but would like to check them out and fly one first.

Thanks

hi Windchaser1,

I am in Brisbane and ended up buying a 12 Boss and an 8 Manic C. I couldn't get a demo so i ended up just buying them.

I have only ridden the Boss which i have been stoked with. What is your riding style.

I know there is a distributor in WA.

PM me if you would like some more info.

Cheers

You can't go wrong they are a great all round kite .. I've got the 7.5 ,9 , 10.5 , 12 . I ride strapless in the the surf and twintip when I want to boost... Nothing better than a powered up rabbit you will love em , but be warned they breed

Hi Guys,
Thanks a lot, I want the kites primarily for wave ride, but won't say no to some kiteloop, boosting twintip action.
Just a bit nervous without have flown one

If that's the case like you mentioned 7.5 for waves and the 10.5 punch for tt. It pulls like a 12 but depowers nicely to feel like my smoke. Just about indestructible I've ridden ozone and cabrinha and in my opinion the rabbits are heaps better.
Good luck

Agreed, I ride wainmans 7.5 & 10.50 , canopies are bulletproof line quality has been my main issue, broken 2 bridles and three quickrelease lines within 12 months, replacements are very expensive, rip off would be an understatement.

Have a boss 12 bought 2 years ago from Snnya @ WestOz Kiteboarding must have used it 200 times at least, learnt on it, its a great kite, robust & tough as you can get, flys great and you can progressively fine tune them for the best results. cheers
