Freeride, allround, race kite by Advance
Designer Goals:
The Kaiman3 has a more open profile which results in less earodynamic drag. The wind-range was thereby increased but the low end remains the same. The kaiman3 has a constant turning speed.

Conclusion
The Kaiman3 offered a suprise. Instead of the allrounder which we expected we found a true specialist. The Kaiman3 characteristics give it high scores in the Old-school segment. Overpowered the Kaiman3 is a true glider, if you are looking for a kite to win a Big-air contest this might be the kite for you. The lift is not explosive but gradually brings you to higher altitudes.
