It flies steady enough for some freestyle moves, but is too slow in his reactions to have a fun session while free riding.

You feel this immediately when using the kite on a twintip board, unless you want to ride a wave with a twintip (?), the Rabbit is clearly not mend to be used for free riding. The Rabbit is not responsive enough to be ridden like this. While testing it we saw other riders rather doing is the other way around the kite (in this case at Canos we saw mostly The North Dice and Neo) swinging from side to side with each bottom turn. We had the steering lines set to average out of the 3 possibilities. With this kite you intend to ride the wave purely by your board. It is really the opposite: leave the kite in a corner and it will be there as long as you want. It is not a kite we would recommend for riders who like to have the power from the kite to smash or ride the wave. The kite flies really easy and smooth, very steady. It does get you frustrated though when tiding up the lines around it, since the end of the bar will bend very easily. Good for the deck of your board (wen you accidentally) hit it with your bar, is the very soft ends of the bar. Since the aim of this safety is to have one line go through the swiffel, it won’t completely work. If these lines are crossed multiple times the safety system can become nonfunctional. It comes with a swiffel similar like Naish and Slingshot, which all suffer the same problem it doesn’t rotate properly, which means the front lines will most likely be crossed when you loop the kite for instance. If connected like this you are sure not to lose either the kite or the chickenloop. It would be advisable to connect your leash both to the safety and “suicide” rings (in the chickenloop). The chickenloop comes completely off when released. For example the safety connection sits well above the chickenloop. The bar and (4) lines are a bit different from bars from other brands the safety system, colors and connections are uniquely “Wainman’s” style. Our mr Green has lots of bright colors and a huge typical 3-rounds logo. Even the tips of the leading edge have this logo.

For example they have a 6.25m, called “Gypsy”. Each kite size has a special dedicated aim, all explained on their website. Wainman present’s kite size up to 2 digits (!) behind the comma (all having 3 struts). In our case (the 7.5) is called “mr Green”. An unique detail about Wainman kites is that they give each kite size a name.

The 7 different colors belonging to each kite size (5 till 14.5m) are characteristic for Wainman. The conditions were good with waves up to 3 meters. We tested this kite in gusty 20-30 knot Levante (side shore) wind in Canos de Meca, Spain. The newest version of their wave riding kite “Rabbit” is the 3.0. Wainman is one of the first, if not the first brand who made kites specifically designed for wave riding. Wainman kites are updated by a version, instead of “renewing” them each year like most brands do.
