  4. I went to the Monthly Rogue Valley Windchasers Fun Fly this weekend, Beach was packed, Wind was light and I flew for hours , it was awesome !!! OH YEAH !! The Rant !! Watched the firework's , went to bed , woke up at the normal 4:30 am, left the hotel with no key, 1 rev kite bag and coffee. It is normally Foggy , chilly and Zero wind . But I fly anyways... I had no plans to return, I walk a half mile to the beach, Blue sky, No Fog and Beautiful 8-12 mph Wind... WOW.. Now , I have 4 kite bags at the hotel... single line's, Power kite's, Line laundry, scrub board and my brother in-law. No cell service, and I am not walking back.....It's Rough So ... Can you believe it..... I Have to pull out a brand new x-tra vent, that I have had for almost a year and never flown..... AND FLY IT .. For almost 3 hours ...before the other flyers showed up.. And then it was time to go Home......... Sorry all... no kite breakage... Just a broken Heart, Having to go home!!! Rant; Newbie Brother in-law - Missed out on the Excellent Wind . 4 bags of un-flown kites Took video with head mount go pro, and the camera view was not adjusted right, nothing good in the frame ! Had to leave............
  5. The longer it is ...The bigger the wind window - the slower the kite will Fly... The Shorter it is ....The smaller the wind window - The Faster the Kite will Fly... Enjoy !!
