1olddiver

Hi, Thanks for approving my membership to this group. I've been flying stunt kites almost 11 years now, though in all honesty I really haven't improved much in the last few years. I kind of put more effort into the kiteboarding side of things. I live on the island of Guam and haven't had to endure a winter in over 11 years. Which is why I live on Guam. I've been a deep sea diver for the past 37 years, other than a couple of misguided attempts at thinking I was much good at anything else. I did drive an 18 wheeler delivering Bud Light to the thirsty folks in the south eastern states for awhile but that was more of a just trying to give a little something back to the communities. I'm a retired Navy Diver and spent 18 of my 20 doing it. I consider myself one of the luckiest guys alive. I love my work, where I live and I have the best family of friends here. My go to kite is an Exile. I love that thing. It knows a lot more tricks than I do and sometimes appears to pull some off with no input from me. As I've gotten more experienced, I can keep the look of surprise off my face when that happens and others are watching and occasionally even manage a fist pump. Same thing when I crash. It appears people will react more to what I do than what the kite does. I found this forum while looking for a replacement center 'T' the Exile. Thanks again for your "Welcome". Carey
