Now these LE cutouts look a bit suspect to me on an SUL like the Ghost. On a standard weight kite intended to be hammered about madly... they look misguided.

Have you played around with leech line tension, it could probably be rectified by a bit of adjustment.

slitting the LE like this is not the most resilient design feature.

The cutout is but I'm pretty sure (or at least as sure as I can be from this distance) that mine has dacron LEs.
jaydub wrote:Just checked my Sin out. The LE is definitely ripstop, but with a much smaller square pattern than the sail.
