Pretty sure he's talking about the name of their latest model kite, not about BWS in general.

The Nemesis, although seeing as a 21m C kite did feel like it was always trying to kill you, maybe it was the 'Best' named kite????

I had a 21m Best and the name was great... BFK... Big Fn Kite. Perfect.

/ps I thought it was a great kite to fly, very mild mannered. But pumping it, leading edge 27km long and as thick as a kombi, that was something else

/pps "zeeko notus" ain't all that inspiring either..

They were going to call it Hooker with a penis, but apparently the European market has existing trademark rights.

Anyone with an insight to BWS or who is within BWS who can give us an explanation to how this name came about? Surely there is a reason/story/bet/sabotage/drunken night in the marketing meeting/meaning in a different language or something which resulted in one of their products being called this. Also they only have a small product line so a large proportion of their sales will be left with this name.

I personally would avoid buying it as I couldn't be bothered with the constant crappy jokes about it!!

Kind of like a problem Mitsubishi had with Pajero

Mate, you should have got the brown one.

Does it allow your to style to really flow?

It will really inject something new into your kiting.

Review: Great boost, no hang time + hot landing = well you know....

Maybe it's a new marketing angle kind of like Wainmans Rabbit Gang. Perhaps BWS is coming out with an entirely new range with names to match!!

Perhaps we will see a new range from BWS;
The Hemorrhoid
The Colonoscopy
The Prostate Exam
All coming to a beach near you!!

... you either had to swim at the kite like an Olympic swimmer or pull the 5th line like ya pulling in a marlin, either way you quickly learnt not to drop the bloody things!!

Remember the saying, "sticks and stones". Well, my son got an 8m Aeneema at the Merimbula Classic and I have watched him rapidly progress on this kite over summer. From what I've seen, as I am yet to fly it, the kite performs very well and is excellent at staying in the air when it is driven to far through the window trying a jump. The relaunch is very simple and the bar set up is good. I am not trying to review this kite but just being positive instead of knocking or chipping away at an Aussie who is having a go with his products.
If you changed the I and the O around in Slingshot, now that would be an interesting name and I wonder if anybody said similar things to the band Tool about their choice of the same name for an album.

Strapped, everyone knows they are awesome kites, but everyone is just having a laugh about the name.

Actually it shows the BWS guys have some humor about them.

Personally I get over the tough guy names - Screamer, Nitro, RPM, Bandit, Crazy Fly Sick Bar.

Also could North name the Neo, over the Ted Theodore Logan?

Been flying these Aeneemas for 6 months. They are awesome freeride wave kites. If you make the link in miss pronounciation, you will quickly get over it once youve been out on one. My teenage kids are loving learning on them too.

If you have to make the link, then as any Dr will tell you, sticking medecine up your butt is the fastest way to feeling gooood.

Fark for those of us on the other side, "Hooker With Penis" and "Tool" seem to really define kiting well.

Mr 'Oath you are onto something there....



But yeah, us polies really do have to wear the blame for things like Pryde, the kanga c0ck fin, pink wetsuits in the 80's and stuff like that

Ænima is a spiritual term meaning an Atlantis type cataclysm, meaning land sinking underneath water.

Video review not bothered .... Dont really understand, one of the best things in kite surfing, made by an ozzy, and his locals link it to their butt ? Is enima perhaps ozzy for "mouthwash" ? Or perhaps seeing the link is revealing some darker subliminal desires.
