Actually it's simple, the list of quads is equal to the list of essentials. 😄

Your list of kites is getting longer too, i see. 😉

Congratulations my friend, have fun. 👍

A lot of helpful people here, so feel like home and look around. If you have any questions or want to share things, you will see there is enough response. Have fun buddy.

Hello Alcook and welcome. Not everything is virtual. 😄

Am I right to say there is no vented strip between the kite and the leading edge? I know with low wind there will be no difference, but in higher wind I don't know.

Very nice photo's my friend, the kite looks awesome.

Ha-ha, well, it was a light wind and I kept my hands holding his hands most of the time, but he did surprisingly good. I told him it was the same as riding his bike and that kinda ring a bell it seems. The joy on his face was priceless. The only kites I fly beside Revs, are a Nasa wing 250 and a C-quad 3.2 and those are no option for beginners.

Yes, there is a temptation is to say such a thing 😄, but I always prefer that they ask if they just comment. And often the thought behind such a question is not even that strange. I let the child I was talking about fly my kite (with my help of course) and he enjoyed it visibly. Isn't it wonderful, if you can convey this like this? Hopefully he will be just as interested in a few years and will also buy one or more kites.

The most important thing is that you enjoy what you are doing yourself John. 😉 Do what you like, not what other people like. Cheers mate.

Both look stunning. I really like that custom printed sail and the Detox looks very "clean". Excellent choice.

🤣 How wonderful. But who can blame them? I know people who never saw a 4-liner in their life. And when you get to talk to them they also think we are only preventing the kite from crashing and have no idea we are able to fly it wherever we like. But I love some reactions very much.

Nice experience. I had several like: "Aren't you a bit too old to play with kites?" or "Do you realize you are flying in a nature reserve?" 😉 And sometimes the mood changes from "Ohhhh" and "Ahhhhh" to "How hard can it be?" in a few minutes. Normally I avoid crowded places, but sometimes a nice moment presents itself, when a kid on the beach after watching a while asked me: "Where is the motor?" People are amazing.

All problems with customes and delivery aside, the post seem to think shipping is cheap. I can't speak for other countries, but in Holland it's more wise and cheaper to make the ride yourself. It's only the lack of time to do so. And in riffclown's case I can imagine it's a load of his mind when the kite finally arives.

I pray it will work out for you Riffclown. It always gives me a helpless feeling when handing stuff over to the postoffice. I had the same experience twice, but fortunately not with valuable things. Wishing you luck.
