Now in the final week of our UK / Denmark / France tour, just catching up by posting some pics and video here... You may need to view this topic in a web browser (mobile or desktop) for the links to appear, Tapatalk and the KiteLife app don’t always show them.

To all in the path of the storm, Stay Safe.

Best wishes to all you KiteLifers who live to the south of me. Looks like ya'll are going to get this one pretty good.

by anchor, you mean just me holding it with some slack on a second pair of straps in case it gets too powerfull and I can take over ... or do you mean some type of setup where the kite is literally anchored to the ground ? I keep reading to bring a kite down you just drop the lines, or run toward/forward to the kite to give it slack. Is it as easy as they are making it out to be? Droping the lines seems like a good way to watch $100 float away into the sky. I considered going smaller like a 1.5 because its supposed to be less pull, but at the expense (and maybe im wrong here) of 'slowness'. IE smaller wingspan = less pull but will be "faster" and im assuming more difficult to fly for a 9 year old. The 2.0/2.2 would be more pull but at least theoretically a slower flying kite and maybe easier to manage in the air. Am I wrong here?

Hurricanes mean business. Agreed with the plea to stay safe. And for those who choose not to stay safe: Now is the time to try a frame-only kite. Just be sure when you catch the kite mid-air, it's because the kite came to you rather than you going to it.

Interested. Does it come with bridle?
