Manta Kite by HQ, based on an idea by Ralf Dietrich, the printed tribal design is by Rainer Kuhlmann

What a great looking kite, thanks for sharing it with us!

[@JimNicholls]

Looks good, Stefaan. You are definitely the first to show this kite. I have one coming from the USA, but HQ have not released it there yet - maybe soon, I hope. It's good to have a new light-wind kite, especially one that looks very different.

Thanks Jim, and it flies very well but you definitely need 2bft (4-6 knots) ;-)

[@JimNicholls]

@@TirStef Thanks for that information, Stefaan. It's being promoted as a kite for very low wind, but it sounds as if that might not be accurate. At least I know what to expect now!

[@TirStef]

Maybe if one changes the spars you could fly it @ lower windspeed, but no need for me ;-)

Thank you Stefaan for a first look at this new kite. They are getting rather good results with their printing process. I know Jim is waiting on his to arrive so I may get a close up look in the future.

Hi Carl, yes the print is really fine.

[@gokitinggr]

Nice! Very beautiful in the sky!

[@TirStef]

Yes i agree! ;-)

[@larsflieskites]

Lovely design, I know what I will save my my pocket money for now :-)

[@PanyingPilot]

It too swims! You will enjoy this kite.

[@TirStef]

Haha Glenn, i think you have the original one build by Cherie?

[@PanyingPilot]

@@TirStef You are correct! It is nice to have something to compare to. We are doing more indoor flying lately also, not with this kite of course, but with other no wind kites.
