Air brakes do slow the kite and reduce pull, but they also reduce performance to the same degree in my experience. (like a drag chute on a race car)

Prodancer SUL by Sky Burner, not known as a trick kite but one of the top 3 extreme light wind fliers I've ever laid my hands on. https://www.facebook.com/barresij/posts/10213407694490973

My B Pro STD is on its last legs, forced to slum it with a factory kite off the shelf.

Quick clip...

Fun with @windpoacher...

My son just turned 1 year old, feeling ya brother!

Great to meet you too Sam, just sorry we were so rudely interrupted - would have loved to share more with you! Indeed, we'll meet again - PS: there are rumors of a field at Berkeley dedicated to quad team (and "level up" lessons like you) next year, right near where we were standing... Had a chat with Tom about it, and he was definitely interested in giving me the space to work with - we'll see!

On iQuad we just used square (180 degree visibility) blue LED bulbs slid directly onto small watch batteries, which we than adhered to the sail and bent the bulb wires so it generally pointed at us, 5 lights per kite.

1-3 mph.

I love my Nexus, GREAT kite for the price point, I also use them to train folks in first time team flying.

Congrats!

Everyone has their own method, but this is one way to go...

Made a lot of headway in the past 2 weeks! Soft launch, will do a more vocal announcement via social media middle of next week... http://KiteLife.com All feedback welcome, please keep discussion here in KiteLife channels for the moment - thanks!

Just browsing through today's posts and was overcome with a feeling I consciously have at least every other day, seriously... The KiteLife Forum continues to flood me with deep appreciation, respect and recognition for the overall tone and communal nature folks find here... Even after roughly 14 years, we've had a very rare few major incidents and "trolls" just can't seem to find oxygen here. New fliers come in with "n00b" questions but time and time again, nearly without exception, they are welcomed with genuine kindness and consideration. We're also by in large a multi discipline group with single, dual, quad and even the weird stuff well represented... That all makes the horizon brighter and more promising for everyone. The moral of my post here today... It's you. I'm proud to be "den mother" and I play my part but it's a fact that I rarely have to do anything along the lines of moderation or mediation here... Y'all self manage and promote respect, growth, fun... Paying it forward in shaky social times. Thank you.

Hear hear.

FYI, I know for a fact our sponsor http://www.thekiteshoppe.com has a surplus of B's in stock.

Most definitely, our only goal is to share the space and be sure folks have a great chance to learn new stuff.

Every time.
