The long way home is not only the largest, but also one of the most popular genuine zerowind kites. A wide wingspan and generous sail area send a solid feedback down to your hands.

Minimized gravity

Aerodynamically balanced, the efficient glider shows crisp flatspins without losing height, performs long fly aways and loves smooth elegant glides even against a light breeze.

Floating on thermals, this kite circles around the zenith, carrying hundreds of meters of line virtually without wind.

Also available as Hyperlight Edition in Dyneema Composite.

The tube of each LWH comes personalized with the name and phone number of the owner.

There's only one kite-line-option for The long way home: a long Zero.6 for any flight with or without wind. Okay, maybe an extra long line like a Zero.5 for extremely high flights in a gentle breeze. Forget about urban flights with this kite, more or less.
