The Punch is very stable in the air, sitting a little further back in the window due to the deep chord and low aspect nature of the design. Most modern bar & lines will have a much longer depower that some people may struggle with and just isn't necessary on the Punch. This gives you an immense amount of control in gusty and really windy conditions as you can keep your body in the same position and make small adjustments to the bar to tune the power in the kite. Something that will suit the smaller rider with shorter arms is that the Punch has a very, very short throw, you can dump all the power from the kite by moving the bar just a few inches, rather than having to sheet the bar all the way out. The shape is consistent to those in the past with a deep canopy and a very curved leading edge. The Punch is an explosive kite that provides sharp handing. Wainman kites handle, well, like Wainman kites very different to anything else on the market. We wish the very best for Lou and we appreciate your continued support.This kite will always take a bit of time to get used to. ![]() ![]() 2014 is going to be another exciting year for us and we hope you will continue to be part of the Wainman Hawaii Gang and its future endeavors! Nothing is changing in the way the company operates. All the same people that developed the product line, complimented by those who joined us later, will continue this mission. Since the company’s inception, Wainman Hawaii’s main focus and priority has been the creation of premiere products for you. To be fair to our business partners, devoted product riders and many of our employee families around the world, there is a certain limit to the amount of energy and financial resources that we can commit to this unfortunate situation. Out of respect and friendship to Lou, Wainman Hawaii will always do our best to help him, whenever he is ready for it. This vision and commitment will always be our priority. Our company was established out of passion for sports, to promote an active and positive lifestyle, and because of our love for kiteboarding. Lou`s decision to leave the company was a big surprise for all of us, but like always, we have to respect his choices. It seems that none of the efforts have had permanent results to date. A great amount of time, energy and resources have been spent by many of us including direct family (with many professionals involved too) to resolve this. Over the last 7 years, on top of working hard for the development of this brand, working on its products and public image, we tried numerous times to support and assist Lou in his own personal issues, problems and unfortunate self-inflicted situations. Like many of the first kitesurfers, the members of this company were inspired by his pioneer achievements in the sport and his beautiful mind. We definitely do not condone this behavior as this is not part of our marketing strategy or business practices. ![]() Although our company cannot control Lou and is not responsible for this, we would like to sincerely apologize to everyone that has been offended by these actions in any way. We are very happy to tell you that after our initial 5 years of business operation, Wainman Hawaii is now moving into its next stage of growth and new developments for you!Īs you may be aware, there have been some negative, unnecessa ry and hateful comments recently posted online once again, on the Facebook page of one the original co-founders, Lou Wainman. Dear Wainman Hawaii Gang, partners, friends, and the entire kiteboarding community:įirstly, we would like to thank you for your continuous support for the brand.
