The Wave certainly is suitable for small kids. Just ask Barb Short who runs the sailing center at Founders Park in Islamorada, FL. They use 10 Waves for kids that are very young. And the kids have a ball with them.
I believe it is either once or twice a week the entire Montesorri kids come a sailing at their center, and most of that age.

As for name calling, I am lost. Where and how did I do that. I remembered someone overquoting the prices of a Wave and felt whoever that was was "pooh-poohing" the Wave and how extremely expensive it was. I was just refutting that post is all. No name calling that I am aware of.
Perhaps the term pooh-pooh was taken in a different light. It means squelching or disdaining, not fecal material. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
