Looks pretty cool. Is it rumored to be an ELf?

No, but it looks EXACTLY like an Elf Joker6 does from the same angle...

I think they all look similar from that angle. Exept the sonic. But then they are going to. They all follow the same trends for high performance. Doesnt mean its not their own work. Ive always found it funny how people can point at a kite and assume its a copy without knowing facts of its developments. For some brands it seems acceptable to assume they have copied another kite. But dont go saying that a peterlynn looks like another kite, youll get your head chewed off
lol

Of course they will be copycatting other designs. Every lei manufacturer that's stepped into the foil market would have done the same.
And why wouldn't you? Looks at whats successful currently and then try and make it better!

Well youd assume. Lf elite doesnt seem to stand to the hype. Apoarently its "not a race kite" so i guess it wouldnt have to perform as such. Which begs the question...why buy a foil kite that expencive if its not fast?

Could be a similar story as the Diablo. Bring a big bag of money and 'make us a kite'
