Boris,
the Wainmans are really good, after 10 years kiting and changing kites every year as they've developed, I've had my Wainmans for just under 2 years. Great fun, really good top and low end, tunable etc, it's just that I fancy a change and would not hesitate to go back to them if I don't get on with anything new. The 9m smoke has a fantastic range, covering nearly 8-11m type range. Will let you know how I get on with my new Nomads.
regards
mike
