Hi guys, We are close to final production! Kitefinder interviewed me and did a small test. I have listened to a lot of feedback from the past. So even a closed leading edge right now ;-)

Already more news about this race kite?

Just give it a try. I think it will work but it would be better to put some bridles on the LE. I did design a C-kite strutless but has very limited depower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q20GDtNvBC4 The next one works much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NikrX3zjrPE

Reminds to this

Hi, I'm sorry, it's not a Monjet Ninox. But we are preparing some new prototypes cause we believe there is still some room for improvements.

Hello Extremekiters! Our website is finally online www.monjetkiteboarding.com

We are working on the depower range, but our goal is hudge depower. Also when you pull your safety, the kite will fall out of the sky without any pull left. We will make it user friendly, it will be possible to use every 4-line bar with equal lines. I think what you see is the depower strap. This is just a normal bar. Thanks for your input!

Dear kite friends! I wanted to give you all a quick update. We had some small issues with the design, but are fixing it right now. It seems to take a little longer than expected, single skin depower is a ver complex design. We have some great help from a lot of people. Thank you!

@BigE I saw your kites, great job! I do only the design, kites are made in factory. Production is more expensive like we do, but we want the best performance possible in the lowest wind. The kite is depowerable over 4 pulleys. The aspect ratio is medium to high.

Cool names, I put them on the list. First we will launch the 9 and 11m, maybe smaller in the future... High performance single skin kites have so much cells and bridles and are very complex, therefore production is not cheaper then foil kites.

I will ;-)

Thank you all, really appreciate your interests (forgive me for my poor english writing sometimes) @jhn.holgate We have no name yet, (so if some one has a good name ;-) Currently the tuning of the 9m2 is almost done, we are also working on a 11m2. These kites are very powerfull and designed for low wind sessions. (9m is comparable to a 14m normal depower foil, the 11m more like a 17) @m.klinge You are welcome to give it a try! You are right, paragliders are a big inspiration. I had this idea a couple of years ago but struggled a lot with the design. I was also working on some different tube kite models for other brands at that time. Since this year I was able to focus for the fully 100% on the hybrid single skin. For a few months now, we are working together with a factory to get this kite on the market. @ssayre Thanks! Always good to hear people like this concept. We want to push the limits of low wind kiteboarding with smaller kites, and the only way to make big improvements seems to be in this concept.

Hello all! I saw this topic so I thougt maybe it's time to introduce myself. My name is Bryan van Ostheim and I am a kitedesigner of Monjet Kiteboarding. (A new small dutch brand, even our website isn't online yet) We are specialized in light wind designs and currently testing a new hybrid single skin concept wich you can even water relaunch. Here is a video during Flymasters in 6 knots (it's a 9 meter) Our webiste will be soon online but untill that time you can follow us on: https://www.facebook.com/monjetkites?ref=hl If you have any questions or want to give me some feedback, please let me know!
