The event turned out very well. The high water was a problem on Friday and light wind Saturday morning, but Saturday afternoon and Sunday were great. I got some tips from Paul LaMasters and hopefully can fly with the group next year.

Several WoW quad-heads will be attending LBI, so the opportunity to experience a half dozen variations is there at any moment, each pilot thinks he has "the hot set-up" too, perfect for today's conditions. Well? How did you like to do a comparison flying each one's efforts? Paul Dugard, James (Fletch) Fletcher, Dave Humes, Jim Cosca, Marc Conklin, myself. None of these folks has a single kite to fit the day's conditions, oh no, choices are available from each party. It doesn't matter why it feels better or worse, just that you got to decide for yourself on a preference. Tomorrow it might be somebody else's toy.

Watch? Come on Rob, if you can hold a stationary hover inverted you are one of us. Imagine you can only move the kite between the sofa and TV in the living room for depth, only as far up and down as the floor and ceiling. That width of the room is entirely yours too! This is your 3-D area, can you stay there in any orientation asked of the caller? If not practice now or alter something in your set-up to accomplish this feat. Lighter frame, different tuning on the leaders, etc come hang with us and it won't be intimidating after an hour. We've got a couple of days worth of practice time, a few hours each afternoon. Test out some else's ride and see how it feels. Everyone shares and that is the best experience to obtain. See you there and YES I have indoor quads for you to bang into the floor, so don't say you cannot fly inside either! That is 5 minutes away from your first touching of the kite.

Yes, Thursday to Monday, indoors and outside
