I had a similar issue when getting the pins, but that was going from Tapatalk to the web. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking at the "Tricks Party" set in Europe currently. The format is geared towards pure freestyle but could be distilled down into a more "general public friendly" model. Great watching those pilots just carve it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great choice of tunes to match the flying. Mellow baby. Great job.

Oh, and 977 for the RNG. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same kite, different day. Still sweet though.

Yes, very familiar. No, not alone... I'm really digging my 7SUL. The calmness of action. Having to slow down and guide it through transitions. A big SUL wing is really fun and relaxing to fly. A little bit Zen even. Please post a review, after a little "get to know you" time. I've been curious on the 'Vana myself.

Luckily here in Oz we are a little behind the States. It's still on sale!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm only 5 hours ahead of him... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

... he's booked a "wake up and draw" call. But, there is always the chance it may go awry. I saw that he was online here a short bit ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Come in spinner!! 977 977. . . . 977. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The spirit of the Karma Drawings is to pay the good feelings forward. Not everyone will go in every draw. Just what appeals to them. It's not up to me to say "yes" or "no". If you enter, if you win you have to put up the next drawing. There are some great prizes coming up. Coloured sleeving is a new one. Pretty cool if you ask me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting ... will this works ? what about 5 sets of 4 colored sleeves (no lines) ? (dark blue, light blue, dark green, light green) left side top and bottom right side top and bottom if YES ... then I am "IN" So long as you satisfy the guidelines, you're golden.

Great debut. Looked like plenty of high jinx and fun was had by all. Many smiles in the pics. Well done.

I keep some kites on hand, at the ready. You know, just in case... Nice selection.

Ha ha ha. I was thinking "23 degrees that's a great temp". But then I realised you are in Fahrenheit! Yep that is cold! Those micro kites are pretty cool.

With not a lot of flight time comes, for me, a level of desertion. Motorvation leaves. Inspiration dries up. Inclination goes. I begin to contemplate selling off kites that I don't fly. Then the day breaks and a new source of inspiration presents itself. My oldest girl, 10, has a group of friends that knock on our door every weekend and they all go to the park to ride, play, skate and generally just hang out. This past weekend was no different. There was a gentle breeze so she asked if she could take her kite. She is really good like that to ask, of course the answer is yes. I tell her if she doesn't want to share her kite with the rough kids to say I said she couldn't. Anyway, she is gone for maybe half an hour. I spy her little delta floating on the breeze. Suddenly she is back and looks a little upset. Apparently some other kids were making fun of her "little" kite. I start to tell her not to bother with them when she gets this twinkle in her eye. "Dad, can I fly your big one?" she asks with a widening smile. Yep, I know exactly what she means and how she feels. So I give her a brief demo how to set it up just to remind her, she is always helping me set up though. I tell her to set up on the other side and let them come to her... So she does. And they do. I peak out the window to see a little crowd of her friends standing around her fly this massive, to them, kite. A 3 meter (10 foot) delta with a 15 meter (50 foot) tail. She came back all smiles and gave me a big hug. "They had never seen one THAT big. Thanks dad." Awww, bless her.
