I do and I'm curious if they actually sold any of these "Lead Zeppelins"....
I also remember it's stable mate the 20m was actually was purchased by a few in Sea-town.... WHAT A DOG of a kite!

Nothing better than having to pump up a 7 strut kite that is a 30m with no octopus inflation system. You newbies have it SO much easier.
I never saw a 30m in action, but I can remember a dude out at SI who would go out and shred while everyone else was having to drink beer as they couldn't get up on a plane. I think his name was Andre and he worked at Gorge Preformance as a side job and was like an art instructor at Lewis and Clark.
I loved my 19m C kite Naish Boxer!

How do you launch that kite if there is no wind at the surface?

I owned one of the 30M Naish Aeros. Flew pretty good. Not great upwind. Before electric pumps and I had to take a nap after I pumped it.

Agreed. Wouldn't mind seeing the launching portion of that vid.
