Just one more

We have had a few pretty days here in the valleys of western Virginia.  It even hit eighty degrees for a bit this afternoon.  So spring fever has everyone in a good mood round here.  Then you feel a nice warm breeze blow late in the evening.  And after a lot of work you may somehow get to the point that you're saying to yourself "Why am I doing this?  Might as well spend some of the hard earned money,  on a, on aahhh, another kite!"   Just one more, don't really need one but why not.  So it goes when you have this addiction.

Later, at home, you check KiteLife to see what's going on.  There's a post about a kite that has been for sale for a bit & now it's been endorsed by a Master Flier.  It's one you have always been curious about.  And it just happens to be a SUL version which will be perfect for the summer lulls that follow spring in these parts.  Nice looking, excellent condition, good price & a great seller.  What are you waiting for?  Jump on that thing before someone else goes through the same thought process.  Right.  It's similar to the sequence of rationalizing another great kite that has occurred right here in this chair more than a few times.  

So it should ship in a day or two.  Does all this sound somewhat familiar?  Or maybe I'm alone in all this kite quest thing.   SHBKF

Yes, very familiar. 

No, not alone...

 

I'm really digging my 7SUL. The calmness of action. Having to slow down and guide it through transitions. A big SUL wing is really fun and relaxing to fly. A little bit Zen even. Please post a review, after a little "get to know you" time. I've been curious on the 'Vana myself.

Never alone.  Our rationalizing is done at our kite shop.  It's dangerous living near a kite shop.

My worst nightmare... or my credit card's ! Actually, we used to have a local kite store, and I bought one of  every sport kite that she sold. Times have changed, kites aren't as popular these days. The kite store is still here, but there are less kites in inventory than I carry in my car. Educational toys are all the rage, or at least that's where the profit is.

Our problem is there is very little new and interesting kites coming out for adults.  We've got almost as much inventory as the kite shop.  Not counting the small kid's diamonds and deltas.
