Has anybody seen these kites before? If you look closely at the Hawaiian Spinoff, one on the left, you'll see the vinyls are dyed different colors.

I used to tie straps to my ankles and fly. Control was good but could not launch. Had to put lines in hand to get kite airborne. Very tiring after a few minutes.

Great to hear that you found some carbon standoffs close bye. Those #200 lb. lines will be just fine...Personal preference but I like to keep the lines length at about 115 to not over 125 feet with those TOL team kites. Do a little PRE-STRETCH and making certain both lines are EXACTLY the same length. Nothing is more annoying that trying to fly with one line longer than the other... Check your bridle settings making certain both left and right bridle lines are adjusted the same on both sides... DON'T bother to sit down on launch...since you you can always step down wind with the kite...or fly it up to the top of the wind window, if the wind is really "bookin-n-cookin! ENJOY THE MOMENT. GO FLY A KITE OR KITES! This is my TOTL Hawaiian kite. It has 261 fiberglass spars for standoffs. It's now equiped with a .404 spine and .370 rods, all hollow fiberglass. I usually fly it in a stack with an Avenger which is similar to a small Hawaiian kite. Pulls a ton. Notice how the stripes don't line up at the center.

Like to make a routine to the music of Pulsedriver's The Whistle Song. Would be one wild performance.
