This sail now has a new home..

For the karma drawing I'm putting up my prism micron. This is a fun little kite and fast. I've flown it pretty much every time I've gone to the beach. Is in great condition and is ready to be taken out. Hopefully someone will enjoy it as much as I have. His teeth are bright in a silly grin. His head swivels endlessly, chasing his darting eyeballs. He’s the pilot of our world-famous Micron, the smallest, fastest little sport kite this side of the Milky Way. He’s got a lot of hours in his logbook before he masters this little rocketship- it’s definitely NOT for beginners! “Like a bumblebee on amphetamines!” one pilot wrote. The Micron comes with Dyneema lines and flight straps all ready to go in a snap-top sleeve. There’s also a long matching tail. Use it. It’ll help you keep track of that little speedster in the sky. Some rules and guidelines: Don’t play unless you’re willing to put up a prize and ship it to whoever wins. Shipping is paid by the original poster, the winner pays nothing. Be prepared to ship your prize anywhere in the lower 48 US States. Sorry, but due to shipping costs, we really have to limit this to the lower 48 US States. RULE CHANGE (7/31/2014): Members from Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii are welcome to enter the Karma drawings provided they are willing to pay half of the Karma prize shipping cost. The method and timing of the payment will be agreed upon between the two parties after the drawing for a particular prize. You can choose the length of the giveaway, but keep it between 1 and 2 weeks. Try to ship the prize promptly. You should be able to ship it within a week, but if you can’t, PM the winner and let them know. Sometimes life gets in the way! This whole thing works on the honor system so if there are any problems shipping or receiving a prize, it needs to be worked out between the two parties. Don’t forget…Karma! This isn’t a competition, but feel free to be generous! If you can only put up a hat, or a tail for a stunt kite, great! If you have something in your kite bag that you never fly and would be willing to ship, that’s great too. Either way, the people that join to win it will appreciate it. When you receive your prize, post a thank you to the thread where you won it. The thread will be locked after that point so the new **KARMA** stays above it. Good luck, and have fun!

Man if I had a building like that the dogs and I would spend more time there than the house by far!!! Once you have to stop try cocking your elbow with your hand up in the air. Put your middle finger and thumb together. Do this with the hand that perceived spin is going. Look the opposite way.Move your arm and head as needed. Doc told me to do this when learning to keep my balance again.Gets me back on track quicker. Rough day yesterday (injections AGAIN 😠).Had gone 2 months without shots. This kite thing is REALLY working . When walking from the car to the house had to do that again. Wife started giggling which got us both laughing. Ya look funny as all get out when doing it. Works for me though and her mirth is all in good fun.Threads got me reflecting a bit over the last year.When 1st starting I couldn't fly for an hour most days.I'd get dizzy, disoriented, nauseated,at times go to my knees and sometimes fall from the pain. I'm sure I look pretty strange in the pasture walking around in circles at times with my arm up in the air,ranting,raving totally annoyed while the Alpacas watch with amusement LOL.Now 3 or 4 hours is common and oft times more.When struggling at the start, doubting if I could do this I'd think of Wayne often.NOBODY thought I'd ever get this well. EVERYBODY said kiting would do more harm than good. I'll get even more fit as I keep flying. When down in the dumps I go to town. Look around a bit. Doesn't take long at all to see someone struggling more than I. Makes me remember how fortunate I am and gets my head straight.Since flying I don't need to do that near as much.Love this stuff!! Even when I'm dizzy 🤣 Kite Life is good 😊.

This commissioned sail consist of the ChallengeMax Poly (Navy) with Silver and Sky Blue Icarex. A bit of a different look combo than I typically do but the combinations work in the colorizer so it should work in mockup.. More to come in a bit..

No I didn't get that impression. You called it right a while back, the Pro Dancer is what I am looking for in a super ultra light kite.

White Leading Edge and single stitch on the edge binding is done. Second stitch is added with the framing and endcaps reinforcements.. Decided to use white thread for the LE stay with it for the Edge Binding . Getting Close!!
