hi Breeezin
i'm reading with interest...always enjoy your posts...that's reason enough to buy the tica, so this newbie flyer can have kite reviews before i make my next kite choice. lol your comments about the hydra helped make that choice. btw i picked up the echo at itw ...also a DeBakker design. good kite but at 4 oz. its a little delicate.
anyway keep up the good work i know you'll make the right choice (sorry, sounds like im talking to one of my kids lol)
