  1. No need for headphones....

    90# Laser Pro Gold singing non stop tunes today!

  2. Supporting the cause....

    Too bad its a dark rye I.p.a.

  3. Just watched a video of you indoors... Doesn't look like your doing too bad! Looks like fun! Wish I could send some fair weather....the whole world would be sporting flip flops and shorts. . One more day of 80s , then that cold front will hit and I will be crying myself...but in insulated overalls and sock hat , still on the beach doing time.
  4. Wow. All the gloomy weather. Almost 80 here with a light inland breeze...working. Welcome to Northeast Florida! Soon to be on the beach , putting my time in Blisters on top of both forefingers from flying both days over the weekend and cheating a little too much. . Time for some adjustments.
  5. First video. Not much editing, just added some tunes. Figured that was a good start . Here's a link:http://youtu.be/VFA5Ywp5zk8
  6. What a day! 4 kites and only flew one ...all day.

    Then I stopped at the local park and got some field flying as the sunset.

    The ride home was breathtaking!

  7. 3 Revs and a small foil. A charged mp3 and camera. Mid 70s, barefoot on the beach. Wind blowing.

    Life IS good!

  8. Is there such a thing as Wind Riders or Kites Anonymous?

    I just drove from the beach to 30minutes away from the wind to retreive a lost cell phone, lucky me, to turn around and head home...when I realized I can still get a good hour in on the beach!

    So I drove back!

  9. very nice and eager to teach.I have some pictures of him flying that kite and several others. Along with about 80 other photos from the festival. I will share some once I have the time to crop them out to reduce the mb size. Packing up on the east coast now from the daily flight....
  10. You are correct sir.... I still don't have any prizes One of the first people I spoke with... So I posted up next to him and some others both days and broke in the new kite a little.
  11. You are correct..... Don't have a clue what your prize is though...
  12. Guess I should have said who's old kite.... Still recognize it? The guy that owned it was very proud of its heritage.
  13. First flight of my new Grey Fade Custom at Treasure Island Saturday. Anyone recognize the kite below it? I had a GREAT time and looking forward to next year already!
  14. And away we go! 5hrs late

  15. New lines cut,stretched,and sleeved just as the last bit of light went away. New kite ready Togo...ok let's hit the road to Treasure Island.

    Crap! Guess I should pack some clothes and take a shower?.

    Going to kill 2 birds with one stone....see some more family from the Benz side and meet a bunch of kite flying enthusiast and do some flying.

  16. I intend on working towards every avenue available New kite packed,new line cut,stretched,and sleeved. Almost time for a little shut eye and then ...... On the road for a short 4/5 hr drive. Looking forward to a great weekend and meeting everyone.
  17. Another day of wind.

    Steady 26 w/gust over 35!

    I need a Full Vent kite!

  18. Holy cow Batman! Blowing 25 with gust over 30!

  19. So today I watched a huge pelican for a good 30minutes.

    It was wingtip surfing just as I do with the kite and you could yell it was an intentional action.Up and down the beach. As each swell came through, it would drop to a point of one wing skimming the face and lip of the wave. As the wave broke..it would jump to the backside and head directly for the next swell.

    It was pretty cool! Wish I would have had a camera handy.

  20. Sometimes I wish I lived on the West Coast...... Where is that portal when you need it?
  21. How ironic? My first dually was a BIG BANG. This ones coming my way for sure! Karma says so...
  22. Who else here has dealt with Dave from Kite Connection and was your experience as good as mine? I know of a few here that have... but was just interested in hearing about it. It was such a GOOD ...scratch that....GREAT experience for me and from that.... I will be making all my purchases through him. Not to mention, custom kites...only avialble through him.(what i purchased) This is in no way putting down the other large dealers around. As i have not bought anything from them or dealt with them in any manner. Here is a little backdrop to my transaction: I purchased a kite only listing yesterday online. In the checkout, i mentioned I was going to the Treasure Island Festival and would like to recieve it for the trip at the end of the week. If standard shipping wasnt going to be quick enough... quote me the other shipping methods prices.. Figured that was that. So, Dave emailed with upgraded shipping for free, not to mention processing the order almost instantly for shipping the next day. Also asked me a few question....Have everything you need ? After a few emails....he found out I only have fairly short lines,compared too most. He couldnt have that! Threw in a line set on credit...as we had discussed me placing another order for supplies once the funds were available..... and then he found out I could cut my own sets and had sleeving(bulk) already. NIX the line set, Im sending you a bulk roll.... Need winders and how many? What a pleasure to do business with someone like this! He is going to make every effort to make sure you are prepared and every second your in the air is enjoyable!
  23. Darn! Congrats! Enjoy it....
  24. Not a pro...standard b. Havnt done indoors yet..but have some shorties for those no wind days on the beach. Just work up a sweat.
