They might need to put a patch on one eye.. It seems their new ideas are the ones that others have had..

$16 - $17.50 per half yard.. It's also no longer called Cuben Fiber.. Now known as Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF) from DSM

It's starting to look like "New from Rev" = "Old from Rev"

or any one of us from my perspective..

OPK is definitely the way to go. otherwise you are buying based on others' opinions instead of your own experience.. I'm pretty partial to the SUL Ghost by Rev, A Freilein Vertigo with T-0 Frame or a homebuilt kite. A B-Series with a light frame or a Zen would also be great choices but those are being hoarded now by those that have them. I had a Reflex XXL and personally considered it a one trick pony. I'm not a fan of the springs Rev put on all of their kites now.

Fortunately, there are a lot of really good experienced fliers in your area. I have 2 suggestions for you. 1. Start with other people's kites first. 2. Don't limit yourself to anything.

A bit of team training and Mega Fly Prep from the Corolla quad clinic 2018

A few clips and shorts to enjoy from the Weekend..

Every kite is a new learning experience. there's alweays something that can be refined in some way. Very much looking forward to your next endeavor..

Indeed it is a true work of art.. Great Work @ACrop The pictures do not do the kite justice..

Very Cool Prize. Congratulations Mike. New Karma is up. Locking this one down..

I've fished a kite out of a tree with my Skydog SDT 2.8 with a larger "non-fishing" hook to grab a friends duallie. Hooked his lines and slid the hook all the way to his kite.. once clear of the tree, his kite caught the wind and he landed safely.. Undamaged.

It's FLY Fishing without the Fishing part..

That's perfectly OK.. We weren't fishing..

I'll respond by saying that our interests differ and the overlap is the word "Kite." FWIW, I think some of us would be interested in seeing your kite and photography rig.. Walk us through how you set up and decide on your intended subjects for the pics. I know I would.. I fly power kites, stunt kites and I even buggy on occasion.. I build kites and even have a few SLK's that I've attached a camera to a few times.. I also design and build kites and have posted videos and picture of kites in some wonderful places and under lots of conditions.. Your KAP work is very nice and shows some great scenery. I follow you post with keen interest in the pics you gather.. Keep up the great work.. Personally, I just prefer the side of the sport where the kite is the focus. I've even put a camera on my quad a few times. This is a shot of what my kite sees when I'm flying..

Whalehead is a great location to fly when the wind is right..

Somehow they mix.. Spotlight on 1:19

@esinger was off to the side practicing with a duallie. It was a great weekend sharing sky, wind and lots of kite adventures with new and old friends..

A little flic flac practice and general kite play from Whalehead.. Pilots @riffclown & @Mike Klaiber

Indigo Sunrise has a new home.. @windpoacher found a tennis partner in low evening wind..
