Rob, The great thing about revs is once the rods are removed, they pack down very small for postage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you drag your LE over the pavement... Yep, a bit of tedler tape to reinforce. A few nylon "studs" in the end caps helps too... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The build is a fascinating read and would be a great reference for new kite projects. The Enigma GW (got wind) is a personal favourite along with the Vented UL. Down the track I will get an Enigma, or 3. I even have the pdf manuals saved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm, package from Zazzle. Wonder what THAT could be... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The air from a wind tunnel is surprisingly swirly. It still needs to be corrected. Think of a whole wall made of pipes layed on top of each other so the wind can travel through them. It is this that give "lab grade" linear wind. The on shore wind at the beach is the closest in nature and is worth the trip at least once. Dirty wind is a challenge but adds an extra element of fun too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Boxing Day 2015. I was going through the recyclable bin in search of some instructions that were reported missing from my littlest girl's "Frozen" Lego set. I kid you not! I noticed a guy with his two kids and a kite at the park. I paused to watch, like any kiter would do. I watched them struggle to get it into the air. I saw the kids lose interest. I had a déjà vu from exactly 4 years back. Quickly told my wife I was just going to help them out and over I went. Went and introduced myself and offered some assistance which he readily accepted. I gave the kite a once over. It was a cheapo dualile, would've cost $20 at most. Plastic sail, cheap lines. First I gave him a basic run through, let out all the lines when it's down on the ground not in the air. Give to the kite if you heading South to the ground. Small hand movements not massive arm yanks. After a couple of minutes of successful flying, there was a gust that just stretched out the sail in a very unkind way. I quickly ran ran back to my house and grabbed my SKD Seven Std and 80 foot lines. Quickly set up, explaining what AND why I was doing. A quick flight to make sure the bridle was dialled in. Then handed over the straps. All the frustration just melted away from his face. Sure we didn't do any tricking, just flew around. But! He was flying and not struggling. His kids called out to him that it was time to go so he handed me the straps back and I flew a few figures, stalls and slides for a bit of fun. We talked while I packed up. All about kites. I think I opened his eyes to a lot more than a $20 dollar kite. Then, and there is always a then, he asked me how much my Seven was. The smile didn't disappear totally from his face when I told him... I explained that it was an investment over a few years. Break the cost of kites down over a few years and most people see the value. I pointed him towards Kitelife.com as a portal into kiting. Gave him a website for a kite shop here in Oz. Gave him my details. Hopefully there was enough of a spark to keep going. Only time will tell.

Really appreciate the offer but I'm not really after a SUL. The Eclipse is a very nice kite. Quite capable. Looking for something to throw around quite vigorously. Thank you for the interest.

Didn't win the Kymera in the Christmas draw. Surely there's someone who doesn't fly their Kymera much anymore, and wants a kick arse B2.

Well said. Much love to you both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I say leave them till after Christmas. It will be the one with just you two for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

C'mon Mr Postman, I need my Kitelife t-shirt for Christmas morning pictures... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Curious to know if you get it before Christmas. They were having an "Express Post" promotion for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A good consistent wind is great for advancing skills. Repeatability is especially good for locking in "the mechanics" of a trick. Good to hear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did I miss a year ? I know I'm getting old, but isn't it still December 2015 ? BTW............how much is S/H to the "right" coast ? Just curious........(zip 27537) Shipping to Oz was $US4 so being a subscriber is actually a discount! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would normally I'd just +1 that. However I think it deserves more. But in fact a +1 is exactly appropriate! Mammoth good wishes and much love.

Don't forget to keep an eye out in the for sale section.... Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think of it more as an alarm clock for night time kiting... (spin that into a positive) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
