    The other thing that's really fun with these 4' Flexi kites, fly one on like 40' lines and handle the lines themselves using your hands to "walk" up and down the lines, bringing the kite closer and further away... Saw Lee Sedgwick do this a few times, pretty fun stuff.

    When do you arrive in LB?

    What part of the world are you in? What kind of place would you usually fly, beach or inland? Average wind speed? Flying once a month or every weekend? Whats your budget? Just a few of the questions any kite vendor worth their salt should also ask.

    In my best Jeff Foxworthy voice: You might be a kiteflier if... The first utensils you pull out at a restaurant are your stake and winder. (ouch)

    FYI, I'd totally be in if this kite was black (to match my others).

    Can't go wrong Mike, 4' stacker is a hoot in big wind... Can even make it do barrel rolls by flying toward the top of the window. grabbing as far up both lines (together) as you can, pulling down to your knees and then letting go... Cycle that technique, and you can do multiples.

    Well dang, this topic was so quiet (and I neglected set a calendar reminder for myself) so it was forgotten until today! I've just reconciled the subscriber database, how about we pick a winner?

    Surprising. This is one of the fastest kites in the world folks, the 4' stacker will fly when nothing else will on the upper end, also stackable (I had 7 together in '94)... Doesn't look like much just sitting, but I still two of mine and will never let them go. Gave it a bump on Facebook, hopefully some folks will realize what they're missing.
