Thank you Krijn, I'm reading a lot of good reviews about those designs. I will look into it ;)

Cheers,

Thank you

You can also look at https://sportkitedesign.se/ as they have great kites and some that are less than 10 years old. In the US, there is https://www.canvaskitedesigns.com/ which was created not long ago.
You wanted a list of 5 kites, here is mine: Superfly standard, Superfly UL, Superfly SUL, Superfly vented (Tim is still reluctant to build one) and SKD Mohawk standard

Images won't upload here. A link to the pics here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xnI0rMizXN6nlGRUY_Wqje7Z4Q_lkNzE?usp=sharing

p.s. didn't realise most of the retail and makers had retreated - hopefully there will be a Renaissance. Btw, I have noticed some of the rubber fittings have stiffened on some of the kites (15+ years old). That seems to be a common ageing characteristic of some rubber. Hopefully some of the shops will stay in business for spare parts. Nothing lasts for ever...


Cheers,
Mike
