I wish I would of had more time to meet more people at SPI. I was only there for 3 days, but I'm now realizing how many connections I missed. I'm originally from Maquoketa, but now reside in Oregon. I'll be at both of the Lincoln City festivals this year.

Recent fatality at a local area reminds us to be very aware of conditions and equipment. I know this is more of a static flying community, but many dabble in the power kite world. https://centraloregondaily.com/redmond-man-killed-after-land-kiteboarding-accident-witnesses-describe-lifesaving-efforts/

Just bought a super sled and tail from him. Need to pickup some spiky balls and a spinning spiky ball. Sad to see the staples of the industry fade away.

Congrats Roger Fontaine. I was hoping to pick this up in SPI, but i guess you get it. I already have a vented Djinn, so enjoy. It fly's in much lower winds than you think it would.

@DTill I hope your beautiful pinstripe kite bag has gear for it.
That bag was traded for a Super Blast R/W/B. That bag is now in New Hampshire, with an old competition flyer who remembers "Young John". I've built a few bags since then, will probably be bringing a standard and full vent Djinn , a homemade mesh and a set of northern lights . I should be good to go.

Really? My mistake! Are the B2's still available anywhere?
I might know a guy on the forum that would part with his, but there a discontinued short run kite.

High line kites of Berkeley has them listed on there never updated website. I tried to order one a year ago and they only had a purple vented, probably drop shipped. That would be a super niche kite, but a bumble bee kite in high winds 15-30. http://www.highlinekites.com/brands/Revolution-Kites.html

If you want to buy a new B-series this is the only place I've seen one. Last one I bought from them drop shipped from Rev. The night edition would be cool. http://www.awindofchange.com/product/Rev-B-Series-NIGHT.html

The B2 is a 72 inch leading edge kite. Much smaller than a 1.5 sized sail. It's the quad version of of a Prism Micron. Very fast, twitchy and fun. Not for beginners. John makes it look easy, it's not. Cool kite, not a second kite more like a 5th.

The kite or the board?
-
Got the power blast in a trade. It's designed to be a power kite, people buggy and land board with them. You may underestimate my board riding skills. These are from the opening of the park in Newberg Oregon. 15 years of having a season pass at Mt. Bachelor can't hurt. It will be a challenge, but I've got kite and board skills. I'll make it work.

Just picked up a power blast 2-4 and looking into land boarding . I could trade one of my custom kite bags for it. https://www.mbs.com/boards/10201-mbs-core-94-mountainboard-axe

I've been using the tape from Fly market with no problems. I was going to order some through Into the Wind because it's cheaper. Don't want to trash any vendors on here, but where did you get the problematic tape?

Remember the difference between an amateur and a professional: the amateur only practices until they can get it right; the professional practices until they cannot do it wrong
I tend to do the travailing bicycle as a rotate tip stab, a rotate tip stab. Then a catch and throw . I"m rank amateur. But if you tap it down with authority you look like a pro.

I thought it was a weird post. Anything to worry about?

I wish that were possible!!
You should come to Lincoln Summer Fest. Tons of friendly flyers. I've met many great people here. There's a festival south of the festival. All the people that show up for the show put on their own show. Your not that far away. SLC to PDX + a 2 hour drive.

Looking at your bag I'd say you next kite is a Djinn full vent. Flying in non beach winds I feel it backs up and bicycles better than the standard.

You need to change your name to Riff's kite factory. RKF productions? Riff's polyester persuasions? RPP?

Djinn for the win! I've flown the fulcrum. It's a kite and fly's, but I wouldn't waste my money on it.

I''m sure we will cross paths. We will be staying at Solare Tower @ bahia mar.
