  1. Finally nice winds this morning. Early running 0 to 3. Got out my PDSUL. First time out since it's first repair. Being a rookie I knew I was going to be hard on that kite. Really lost confidence with it and still don't know what I could have done different.. Hasn't been any winds for it till today and the situation kind of festered. Really thought about selling it and getting a sub $100.00 kite to bang around on. Contacted a couple people a few days ago about it. I am very happy that I kept it. Hey wait a minute, hold the phone. One helped convince me to buy the thing and the other sold it to me !!! After this morning so glad I did. Winds picked up and got to fly the WMP for a couple hours. Wow I don't even no what to say yet except as I hoped it is a lot different than the Hydra. Took a break,winds picked up and flew the Hydra for about an hour or so. It was pretty cool how the winds gradually increased. Winds started hitting steady 18 to 20 and kite and I did well. Went 20 plus and started staying around the sides and top of the window. Feeling pretty pleased until the bumps started coming. Kite lost pressure twice and was rolled to the ground. Wasn't near as bad as last time in this stuff and got the nose turned into the wind belly down pretty quick. Don't think the gusts went over 25 mph but it gave the impression of bellows. Didn't want to stop but I am learning some patience so I did. Put the kite away and sat there for awhile just enjoying the wind. Until today when winds got to high I left right away bitching all the way to the house and then some. After watching that bellowing type movement, no not billowing and no not bellowing like a Bison. Bellowing like in a forge, I started to finally get some clarity on venting. Very cool day.Gotta love that wind.

  4. Agh, shouldn't have spent time time in chat and Breezin beat me to the reply. I kept looking at the list but the Rev 1 is so large with few replaceable parts. On the other hand, a 1.5 is a great deal even with the SLE. But Breezin, I think contactmic should be getting in first on a potential bidding war since he was the one asking about the update.

  5. Good friend. Just an FYI, the Super Sky Dart did not have a sliding bridle, somehow yours has come undone. The line sliding through the metal clip should be connected to the clip with a larkshead knot approximately 19 1/2 inches from the center T.

  7. Dave, I lived in Fort Myers yrs ago before I got into Kites. I’ve been back and loved flying on the causeway heading to Sanibel Island. You can also try the lighthouse on the island great spot there. If you are going to fort Myers Beach, a good spot is to walk down the beach about a mile. That will bring you to the end of beach/ island which is pretty much empty once you get there. Another great spot especially for that golden hour video footage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  11. The key for me is that no matter how frustrating at times, it's fun. Even when I make a mistake I'm smiling at the fact that I even attempted a certain maneuver and the smile gets bigger realizing that eventually it will come. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
