Since you asked:

They don't jump very well at all... that is the only negative I fealt when I flew them. If you are into waves, probably doesn't matter and this would be a killer choice.

The Wainman kites are definitely a different beast. The one thing they don't do well is jump. They will jump and float for a while but you won't get huge vertical lift like you would with a higher aspect kite. That said, it excels at everything else. 2talented I know you are into wakestyle and this kite has that written all over it. Also relaunch is a breeze.
Not the cheapest kite out there but quality is top notch all the way around. Something you could use for the next several years. The 12m would be the biggest kite you woul need.

yeah Brian, I would probably pick up the 9m if anything, that had some good grunt and throwing down tricks in sub 15mph sucks anyway. Need to ride one a bit more to really see if it is the ticket, but the waroo 9 might be an orphan...lol

Actually, the Wainman kites do jump. They're not super lifty like a Thruster or an Era but after riding the inlet the other day and watching Daryl sky over us on the 12m Boss I'm no longer saying those kites don't jump.

We have all sizes in stock and will be demoing them at our upcoming Halloween event.
