Exult Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I've been completely off from KL for a >month (really "enjoying" the time by doing overdue paperwork of the type I-don't-even-know-how-and-where-to-start and handling family issues - OK, not all was a boring horror - I did something unusual, for a change I bought a framed quad (in fact the first that I ever seen)) and what happens: First, there is a quad clinic in Denmark, i.e. relatively nearby (extremely rare), which tuned out to be sold out (OK I'm a duali type, but hey contacts are worth gold in my kite forsaken part of the world). Second, one of the participants turned out to be a man that I've have received so much good and early advice from. This is my old kite guru from the days (end of 90-ies) when I started out seriously, that suddenly surfaced here after about 18-19 years! I'd say that he is the one who really introduced me to kiting. From looking on his profile page (as of Fri Jun 30 12:41:53 BST 2017) I'd say he has chosen a much humble approach here. In addition to the "Aerialis team captain" he is a kite designer, (former?) national director of STACK Sweden and a former kite shop owner. His more recent achievements, i.e. during this millennium, I'm not updated on with the exception of being one of the organizers of a recurrent kite festival i Denmark, "The Nordic Kite Meeting"/"Blokhus dagefestival" ( https://kitelife.com/kl-archive/nordic-kite-meeting-2013/ ). Thank you @Anders Matson for time after time sharing advice patiently (phone-wise) at a time when it really mattered!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
