  3. Ok so finally flew the 2.2.4, and absolutely love it! I had riffclown mod one for me. The symphony 2.2.4 is exactly what I was looking for. The symphony is very fast, snappy, and has good pull but not too much, making if more fun but maneageable in higher winds. I love the fact you can fly it backwards, propeller spin it and zip around like a mad man. It also relaunches far better than any kite I’ve ever flown. riffclown did an amazing job and modified my symphony pro 2.2 very quickly. I highly recommend this mod to anyone looking for an exceptional 4 line kite. Abt $100.0 plus the mods and you have one of the best performing smaller 4 liner foils out there. It is highly addictive to fly, and riffclown will even mod one for you!

  5. I’ve been enjoying the steady wind on the Oregon Coast the last couple evenings after adulting. Got hired at a trucking company today. [emoji847] my wife is at an interview now and has another one in an hour and in two hours have an appointment to look at a house on 3 acres that’s mainly cleared and grass. Boy it would be something to have multiple flyers on 120’s in my back yard. Sent from my IPhone

  8. Right after last post went outside and yay winds were flyable for the Hydra. Got more then 4 hours in 0 to around 15. Wind ebbed and flowed nicely from the north. Nary a violent gust at all. Flew with 2 weights and nose forward the whole time. Kite would shudder a little at 15 but the wind would drop pretty quick. Kite rated for 18. Pretty sure it'll do that but I need to get more familiar with it before I explore the higher range. Really like this kite. It's flippy, precise and pretty fast. I think it and the Widow Maker are going to be a lot different. Hoping so. Not sure I ever want to fly on a beach. Might make me want to move LOL. Better hone those ice driving skills in a hurry. Scared the piss out of myself along the Columbia and down through the Siskiyous a few times. Even drove on ice in north Florida once but the Oregon ice storms are the worst Iv'e been in. Once I have a vent the bad will be good. Once I get my kite built the bad ass will still be bad ass but BAD ASS ,

  9. You will know it is right if it won't move without you undoing it. Did tree work once upon a time, and used that knot extensively, even trusting my life to it while tree climbing. If you get the starting loop correct, there's an old saying that helps you remember - with the free end in hand - "the rabbit goes out the hole, around the tree, and back into the hole." Pull tight from both ends. This should form a loop that will not come loose til you undo it.

  10. I make the best handles in the world. They come fully programmed with all the moves and tricks that JB can do, and can be updated online as new moves and tricks become available. The grip diameter is infinitely adjustable to fit any size of hand perfectly, and the color of grips and shafts can be programmed to whatever combination you desire. They can be had in four lengths, each made specifically for the type of kite being flown, to give you a truly zoned-in experience: 1. 17" (indoor) 2. 15" for size 1 3. 13" for 1.5's 4.11" for size II Each comes with a lifetime warranty, and a free jar of fairy dust (for competition use). At only $1495.00 per set, they are certainly a bargain, since they are worth more than twice their weight in gold. Original TK-tied JB leaders included with each set at no additional charge. Order now and get a second set of your choice at 25% off. Will be available for shipment in exactly 13 days, for one day only. Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime offer! Dual-line straps in various configurations will be available next year.
