My Comments:

As anyone noticed that C-kites are once again becoming popluar? If you watch the old school kite vids we can all see the old school kites where king of hangtime, floaty jumps and ripped off the water performance. However the new gen of kites seem to have lost there hangtime and are becoming a wee bit soft.

However the C kites are coming back with a boom!! wainman maniaC and a few other brands are bringing back the old school deisgn with a new school style of C -KITES. looking forward to see how Best, wainman and a few others perform on the jumping side of things. Water relaunchable c-kites is where its going.

C kites never disappeared. They have just evolved. And Wainman is about 10 years late ;-)

C kites are great. Try a fuel 4 line before you worry about wainmans and 5 lines and all that crap.

^ this. Who even does them in WA?

5 lines are great though, makes relaunch easier and kites are nice and stable in shyt conditions. I have seen a brochure suggesting that the Airush Razors can be set up as a 4 liner similar to the Hadlow pro's... has anyone tried that yet?
