My last kite ripped in half.
The material was really used.
I am now on the same kite, but flown less.
Makes a difference in performance. I didn't get that much air on my kite I used a lot...the canopy was really soft...
Just wanted to make aware that newer material can make a difference to kite's performance.
So if you are after chasing your Woo records...make sure to have crispy kites

Toby you didn't read my post about recoating the canopy with Shoe Goo! If you had your old kite may not have ripped. And would have jumped close to new!
