Can you give us a link to a description of them?
What store did you see them in?
I haven't heard of an inflatable foil before...do you mean it has a bladder...Conventional foils, like Flysurfer, Peter Lynn, etc "inflate" by means of moving air, without pumping them up. |

I went to Joes and didn't even see an empty rack for them in the kite section.
I think you mean open-cell foil, don't you?
Which store did you see this in?
Thanks

| I heard that 1m trainers are BS and that you should immediately jump to a 4 line 5m kite. I have only watched videos of this on youtube but consider myself to be a bit of an expert. |

| yeah, don't waste your money on a 1M trainer because the best choice of trainers FOR ME, is the 4 line 4M. I didn't get to be the BEST in my trade by following the HERD. |

i agree that they are too small, 2 lines, etc...
inflatable... i don't know... i think they had a zipper
or something so the entire kite would hold air.
I saw a foil like that at the KB4C. Their display one
had air inside it, and was puffy
The didn't call it a trainer,
they called it a power kite
or something like that.
It wasn't really by the 'kite' section,
I saw it at the end of the golf club isle.
