An Australian Kite Company gets 2nd place World Speed Cup

Re speed, for the world PKRA Speed championships for 2007 it was good to see an Australian owned and designed kite company get 1st place in one of 3 heats and an overall 2nd place for the PKRA Kite Speed World Cup. 1st Place WALVIS BAY 2007 OVERALL RANKING FRANCE Sylvain HOCEINI 12meter monkeykite Griffin in 36+knots http://www.kitespeedworldcup.com/2007walvis-overallranking.htm 2nd place Overall ranking FRANCE Sylvain HOCEINI 12meter monkeykite Griffin in 36+knots http://www.kitespeedworldcup.com/2007overallranking.htm From what I have read and designed, Higher aspect kites tend to go faster and jump higher, if you are after a fast kite look for a high aspect kite with a smaller Leading edge. Medium aspect kites tend to have a more consistent pull and wider turning circle.
