Noted and agreed. Here's what I came up with. Spars and Spares in the small green bag. Everything fits in the larger green bag which has an internal partition to separate the kite and spars from handles and linesets. Thanks for the feedback and advice on this venture..

Field Test was successful. Added a very quick clip of the ground view for the Inverted Kip Landing at 23 seconds in (75% Speed.)

Poses to use... Downward Facing SkyDog Fly the Triangle Half Moon pose for Night Flys Dolphin inflatable Kite Avoid the Tree Pose and Intense Side stretch as that can damage your kite

Wow got to rethink things again. All this time I thought I've been achieving Zen keeping the kites in the air 😲. Maybe that's why I keep falling over 🤔.

Kite Yoga - the unification of body, mind and breeze Kite Yoga is striving to achieve that goal. Once achieved, it's called Zen.

Regarding the Zephyr. Great low-wind to mid-range-wind kite. If you're just starting out, don't get one unless you plan to leave it in your bag for a year and pull it out when you're ready for it. Any beginner will probably hate it. Unless you are very familiar with how to adjust a dual line sport kite for a specific wind type and speed, you will have it adjusted wrong more than half the time. The kite is designed with inherent instability so it can be tricked well. This will drive you nuts until you gain enough experience. I had one and am telling it the way it is. Eventually I loved it -- but until then . . . . And I'm not even talking about tricking it, just getting it to fly with some control. It has a very small range of compatibility with existing conditions. You need to have it "dead on" or it will cause you grief. Bridle, stand-offs, weight position, and sail tension must all be well-coordinated. You will eventually learn to use all of these adjustments to your advantage if you stay with it. If you think kites may be a temporary passion you're just increasing your level of frustration in what should be pure joy. You don't have to fly as well as a pro to have fun.

Keep in mind, there are facts and there are opinions. Size, and specifications are the facts. Almost everything else is opinion and has to be weighed against personal preference and experiences. IMO, Kites are kind of like shoes, what fits one person may not work at all for another.. You also will likely outgrow what works today in lieu of something that works better for you tomorrow. You may find a favorite that does EVERYTHING you want only to find that model is no longer manufactured or has been replaced with an "improved" model that may or may not meet your needs. And like shoes, it's all about the proper fit first and opinion and performance take over from there.. That's also why so many of us strongly advise newbies to fly other people's kites first (OPK). You might find the perfect kite for you and even better it might even be for sale on the spot.

That ^^^ ✔️ I'm quite ready to believe that. So here's the rub - you read around to seek advice, and on one site you read that the premier addiction is too twitchy and has loads of oversteer, then on another you find someone like you that really likes it. So much of this is subjective, which means that a kite with consistent though perhaps lukewarm reviews starts to looks like a good bet. I'm looking forward to flying the Quantum. Today will be the second thirteen hour working day in a row, but I'm off tomorrow. The forecast is cold and clear with 4/5mph winds. Maybe I'll get some light wind practice in. Can I say, I'm really enjoying this kite chat. Thanks to everyone who's made me so welcome.

Well that's how I started. Sorta. Got totally inspired by a guy flying in a wheelchair. Figured $30.00 would get me started. Kept reading and researching. Like RobB I am having to learn thru videos and forums.More difficult but has it's benefits too. Robs videos are fantastic. He's got some awesome kites.Thought I got a good deal on a E3. During that time I joined GWTW. Deal fell thru and glad it did. From what I've read the E2 is the better grab by a long ways. There's probably more than a few people happier than a pig in a puddle with their E3. Wish they'd speak up. It's a stunning looking kite.Talking with my wife she argued for the $30.00 kite. Make sure I'd like it and physically be able to do it. She watched some videos and was very doubtful that I could handle the pull.Took a bit but I can . Most of the time anyways. The Deltahawk and Hawaiian got some pull. Might like never entered my mind. I became obsessed about attaining the advanced skills before I ever got a kite.Fun was a secondary thought but by golly it's more fun than I'd imagined. I understood from these forums and videos that this stuff would not be easy. For me this is a sport not a hobby. For others vice versa.So I got the best I could justify for the $. I was not prepared for the sudden need for another kite. Then another, then another. I like to think it's under control but another kite will be headed this way soon 😖.For a hobby with the "maybe I'll get hooked" kinda hard to disagree with the cheaper kites. Seen some pretty cool stuff done on a Bebop. People have a lot of fun a few times a year on $40.00 foils or single line kites mingling with other kite fliers enjoying the outdoors and don't give a hoot about a Taz Machine.Seen some folks get pretty ticked off when asking for info on a first or second kite and $150.00/$200.00 kites start being thrown at them. It's with good intent because most cheap kites suck or they're fast and hard to control for a newbie.We want people to succeed, stick with it, have fun but most importantly share.If wanting to trick the cheap kites will frustrate a newbie and the risk of them quitting is high. When you fly with the Prism lines you'll never want to use those polyester lines that came with the Limbo again . How many cheap kite buyers have we lost just because they never got to fly on a decent line set? Think if I would have got a cheap kite and not found these forums I would have been one of those people. RobB started on a Vision and look how he flies now. Lots of people begin with a Quantum in their quiver.I'd venture to guess most keep them for a long time. I think most Quantum owners would agree with me though that you should have been more ambitious. You should have gotten 2 more so you could entertain us with another stacked kites video LOL. They are fun to watch. Advancing into tricking with your new kite I'll bet you'll have less broken parts in the 1st 3 months than I did. Quantum is one of the toughest kites out there.So I've read. As time goes by I find myself missing the Premier Addiction more and more. Thought I'd be able to fly the grandkids a lot.For less than $100.00 I don't think I could have anymore wild eyed, no fear, straight up go for it pure D fun in 15 mph winds trying tricks 3' off the ground center window on any kite no matter the cost.But hey that's me. Premier Addiction Pro should be here no later than Tuesday. Supposed to be even better 😲.

what thread has the details on the discount ?
