  1. Hey Ralph... good to hear my first WM is still around ! Did you also buy that Blue set from Bobby ? Hopefully the OP has found one by now...
  2. How did I miss that this was back up for grabs ??? Love the colors, would look HOTT 🔥 flying on Long Island beaches ! 8)
  3. Hold out to find an original. They're out there. I had a NOS one in my collection until I flew it last year. What a dream, right out of the bag, flew like magic ! Just like my first one, and my second...
  4. I went to all the previous years, except last year. I priced the hotel I usually stay at and they wanted $500 per night for the cheapest room. Other hotels in the area are pricing the same. The event has become a tourist grab instead of a Kiter's fest, which is how it started out. So... I am not paying $1000 for a weekend in New Jersey when I can stay home and fly on my beach for free. I'm just sad to miss the many friends that I would always see at this event. LBI is nice, but not that nice...
  5. This is something missing from my bag... fingers crossed !
  6. Wow ! What a trip. I wouldn't mind flying that for an hour or two !
  7. Hope you find some, they are a BLAST to fly as a stack. Lots of little kites actually pull pretty hard, too ! This is a picture of a friend's stack that I got to fly...
  8. There was a time that the Nirvana was THE sportkite. I've gotten to fly them, but somehow one never made it into my bag. As with many things, I guess I always had time. I guess not... Put that on a list with Focus kites and Sturdy kites as well.
  9. I find the spot I like in the bridle adjustment and almost never touch it again. Generally, I like to bias towards nose-forward. If the kite's not flying in lower winds, I usually take out a lighter kite. The Nexus likes 5-15mph, and like most Prism kites, it flies with a heavy-butt feel. Doesn't mean it won't fly, it just flies slow... If you fly the Nexus in lower winds, it will teach you how to fly a kite like the 4d in zero winds.
  10. Hello, yvescalzetta ! Welcome... you're in good company here. Let's see some pictures of what you fly & where you fly.
  11. A full sized SUL in light wind is divine. I am a size large person, so the small, light inputs required for the small kites just don't come naturally...
  12. I have both kites, and would keep the Kaiju over the 4d. Both are small, but the K is a little bigger. The K is also a little easier to get tricks out of. Neither kite is appropriate for winds over 5mph. Neither kite is a favorite, just because of their small size. I prefer a kite to be 7' or larger, smaller kites just feel like toys to me. But... that's just me. 😎
  13. I've been using it for close to a year. No issues, I like it better than the yellow stuff. I would put it next after LPG...
