  1. I'd like to dabble with stacking some B2's. Does anyone have a photo they could post showing where the stack lines connect to the next kite in the stack please? Guessing I need to attach them at all six caps? Thanks. Sent from my E6653 using KiteLife mobile app
  2. Sorry, John, I can't get past those security pgotos to confirm I am not a robot and buy a ticket for Caroline. Have tried many times yesterday and today. I have told Caroline I have been unsuccessful, and said I would ask you if there is any other way she can book a place. Any ideas, please? Sent from my E6653 using KiteLife mobile app
  3. Yes, Caroline wants to do both the indoor and the outdoor clinics at St Anne's. Sent from my E6653 using KiteLife mobile app
  4. Thanks John Yes, Caroline S. She would like to do both indoor and outdoor clinics at St Anne's. I tried to add her yesterday, but failed. Will try again. Sent from my E6653 using KiteLife mobile app
  5. Haha, just seen the signup link at top of page! Sent from my E6653 using KiteLife mobile app
  6. John. Caroline asked me to check if she is signed up for the indoor clinic, but her name doesn't appear here. Please can you remind me how /where we sign up so that I can add her. Thanks. Sent from my E6653 using KiteLife mobile app
  7. Thanks guys. Lots of good ideas for me to try. I also asked Stephen and Steve from the Flying Squad to show me the other day, and I seem to be doing better with my handle wrapping, and unwrapping, now. Plenty of chance to practise handle wraps this week during this 9 day festival at Berck, France! [emoji3] Better get back on the beach..... Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app
  8. Thanks Eric, but it is the technique for wrapping the lines around the handles (as you walk towards the kite) that I am wanting tips on, rather than wrapping the lines around a winder. Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app
  9. It's something I have only tried a handful of times, but seems very useful at more festivals when I need to set up or break down my kite quickly. Any tips for the best technique please? Which way round to hold handles whilst winding? Straight wrap or figure 8? How to lock the handles together, and secure the loose end of the lines? Plenty of chance to practise different techniques this week at Berck! [emoji3] Thanks. Sarah Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app
  10. Ah yes. Interesting. Occasionally I have had to look away whilst my kite flies near the sun, and there is some level of flying through feel building up with that. Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app
  11. Thanks JB. Couldn't find this yesterday. Will take a look tonight. Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app
  12. Haha, the Bahamas sounds a good idea, especially if I need to swim the swim of shame to recover my kite! Will keep a look out for suitable ponds in the meantime! Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app
  13. "stake the kite & walk the lines parallel to the water line, pulling the kite gently (!) to the shore" Am I understanding this right? So the lines will be following the edge of the shoreline? I guess I thought I would need the lines at right angles to the shoreline to gradually walk the kite back out of the water? Confused (but everything else you said seems to make sense. Thanks!)
