Re: Wipika trade-mark for sale

The Wipika Airblast 8.4 2001 is certainly a hall of fame kite. I have a relatively crispy one stashed away. Haven't ridden it in 7 or 8 years. It would be interesting to pull it out again to see if my recollection of titanic leaps is based in reality. Airblast, what others copied if they were smart

Re: most Powerful wave kite

Thanks for all the replies. Kitewise, I have tried the Kima and found it has too much bar pressure and flies not quick enough into the edge of the wind window.
