YAY!! Thanks again all, for taking the time and care to provide feedback.

And in neophyte hands (no previous quad foil experience)... @Tim Grosse On the lines. https://www.facebook.com/barresij/posts/10214169746141788

Flown as it arrived, only mod was adding a shorter knot on the bottom line attachments at the kite end to compensate for using Rev handles. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

As I suspected, just horrible... https://www.facebook.com/barresij/posts/10214169651499422

Just chopped up some cheap lines yesterday, hoping for a flight today!

Only on Facebook, at the moment... https://m.facebook.com/mikey.devereaux/albums/635409229812391/?ref=content_filter https://m.facebook.com/mikey.devereaux/albums/641901262496521/?ref=content_filter I grabbed some from Mikey's gallery...

Working fine for me at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

Ok, just uploaded a new version of the TapaTalk plugin, hoping things work better for everyone now?

Some pending issues... http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/8185-app-and-tapatalk-issues/

Just confirming, this is only occurring via the app(s)? (TapaTalk / KiteLife) Anyone experiencing issues logging in using normal web browsers? If so, mobile and desktop both, or just one? My initial suspicion is that TapaTalk hasn't yet updated their app for the latest version of our forum software. Let me know, thanks all for your interest and patience!

Dying to fly ours!

Watty's tutorial is spot on, that's what I always refer folks to.

Hi all, Been a lean summer at KiteLife and we're chumming the waters with a couple of great specials between now and August 20th! 15% off Pro Leaders and 1.5 Bridles (quad), enter coupon code SUMMERGEAR (no limit) 25% off FIRST TIME yearly subscriptions, enter coupon code SUMMERSUB You *should* be able to combine both codes in the shopping cart if you're in need of both, let me know if it doesn't work and we'll take care of you!

Not so much later as expected. Despite the forum being down for 2-3 hours today, we finally got the upgrade completed. I'm pleased to report everything is essentially in the same place and format, with a slightly different aesthetic details and a few added features you'll naturally bump into as you use the new system more. Thanks all for your feedback and support!

The front end update is fully public, still making edits to content based on feedback but it should be hopping right along, elected to use the tutorial pitch video on the home page for now. Thanks all!

Happy birthday blue man!

Probably pretty soon, been a super lean summer with most of my time and attention going to our young son and we could really use the boost - stay tuned!

Summer special! 15% off all quad BRIDLES and LEADERS from now through August 20th, enter code SUMMERGEAR during check out! http://kitelife.com/forum/store/category/5-accessories/

For arguments sake, can't race with a lemon. But thanks!

Yessir, TK and I both have one now, and I believe there are 12 or so distributed around the world so far, plus Mikey's. 4 of those 15 total are in the KiteLife Family (me, TK, @windpoacher and @Flight Risk).

Remember when I described "burying your hands low"? That, and less literal handle torque may make things smoother.

Often times when folks initiate the inverted lift, they do over tilt the wing in n effort to "get more reverse" when in fact it's more like a car - gotta apply pressure and wait for it to load / speed up rather than adding more tilt, it's a fine line.

Totally being facetious - I still chose it to follow up my Pro, since we can't get them anymore - I'm flying the same kite you are, and it's kicking butt.
