Great promo video. I'm not an LEI flier but when they talk about their trailing edge bridle, is that an innovation? I'm assuming most other LEIs
don't have a TE bridle? Seems like one way to distinguish their product in a saturated market. elfasa - 28-6-2013 at 07:12 AM
It wouldn't be a Flysurfer without too many bridles would it !! :D :p
I don't know the answer I'm afraid. I don't have experience with Flysurders, or LEIs !!Kamikuza - 28-6-2013 at 08:17 AM

First HQ and now these guys? I don't know why foil kite manufacturers are suddenly adding LEI's into their lineup. Are there any major advantages of
LEI's over foils to justify these new announcements?elfasa - 28-6-2013 at 02:15 PM

Just increases their potential customer base ! More influence in the surfing market.B-Roc - 28-6-2013 at 02:16 PM

Faster turning speed, a more stable / gust resistant canopy, more depower range, simple bridle...
I'm not a fan of them and way prefer the ease of setting up and packing down a foil but LEIs do have some advantages for sure.dave brown - 28-6-2013 at 02:42 PM
Ozone added the Instinct in 2006.. I think they sell quite a few LEI's now. That's a bunch of cash they wouldn't have if they only made foils.
I wonder how the sales of Ozone LEI's compare to the foils.
And another + for LEI's.... they float for more then 5min
