Difference: Shanti is still kite flier owned and operated (by Daniel Prentice), LaserPro (LPG) was sold to Shimano a few years ago and they are now a large scale commercial line producer (for fishing and anything else)... Kiting likely makes up ALL of Shanti's customer base, whereas kiting is a very small percentage of Shimano's total sales.

Hi Frankie, you asked for feedback... First, you've already WON... Overcoming what you have, and showing so MANY different ways to fly / see your kite, well done! Expanding, because I think you really want to know... I'm a real stickler for "entry and exit lines", as well as "running track". Going to from place to place, whether entering or exiting a maneuver, I love to see clear vertical, horizontal or diagonal angles that show me the pilot was clearly under control, and it also helps "frame" each maneuver because of the clarity of entry and exit. "Running track" is the term I use for being able to clearly see the kite going through paces... Circles, squares, diamonds, octagons, straight lines, diagonal lines, rotations, all as if they were drawn on a map and you're just going from one to the other, while still being able to see the path and transition between - this is the mark of a true performance pilot, versus recreational. Neither really experientially "better" than the other, just food for thought. Keep it coming mate!

FYI - I think more than half those folks had never flown team before that weekend.
