@ Sean - nope, that fun is reserved for us inland guys. |
There is only one type of kite that seeks zenith on its own, and that is the Peter Lynn arcs. It looks like he was just trying to show that if you
handle it right, you can make an LEI do whatever any other kite can do. I honestly wasn't aware that there were LEI's besides the Flysurfer ones that
could reverse launch. The ones I have seen usually try to tip tuck and invert with too much rear line pressure. |
