  1. I think so too. Breezin it’s time to join the dark side. Once you start it will only add to your addiction. You’ll love it I promise. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  2. First flight with a new QPro in a steady 6mph wind went bad. Made a few squares then a few half axles, axles then took it up put it on its back and did a lazy Susan. On the way down went to flare the kite and snap the lower spreader broke and put a hole in the sail. No big deal I got spare pt5’s at home. Got out another new kite, Into The Wind Hydra. Flew it for over an hour beating the snot out of it without issue. What a fun kite to fly and for 112.50 how do you beat it? Ok well maybe a Kymera for the same price. Got home let the kites dry off from a little rain on the beach today and noticed a small hole on the QPro [emoji47]. Fixed it by putting white tape on both sides and wondering how often this will happen with this kite? I’ve only done this to one other kite, the Widow NG. But that happened in 15 plus wind. Spare parts and spare kites keep us flying.
  3. Bought more kites. [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

  5. We just moved to Coos Bay from Colorado and love having steady wind. The Silver Fox I would say tracks better. If your ever in the area I’ve got several kites you can try out. Have fun in Seaside we love it there. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

  7. Put up my Silver Fox 2.2 UL first today in 12 or so mph winds and it handles it well. Yes I know 12 is to much for a UL but hay I’m not to smart. Lam’s Silver Fox is my sons favorite duel line kite, we both have the UL models. He didn’t want to stretch his out so he flew the Widow NG. As the wind picked up he was sitting down and was getting drug slightly. I was laughing. I then switched to the Challenger Max and it was much easier to fly and more controllable. My wife just recently started flying and was able to fly the Challenger for over an hour in winds that were in the high teens. We live on the Oregon Coast so the winds at the beach are constant not like they were in Colorado where we moved from. I also have 2 of Lams ATM kites, an UL and a Standard, witch are very similar to the Silver Fox 2.2. The production Lam kites are quality built with his tweaks and parts installed like the wing tip tension pieces. Very convenient. The high end custom Lam kites are a work of art. I don’t own any yet but have looked at several at festivals and will eventually purchase one or more starting with a vented model. The only kites I have comparable to them would be Sky Burner Delta drive or the Solus kites that I love to fly in light wind. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  8. Challenger max is a great kite for the price. My son a I each have one and have beat the you know what out of them and they have held up well. I’ve flown it a few times in 25+ winds when I wouldn’t dare fly any of my other duel line kites. In mid teens the kite flys well will less pull than a full sail kite and will trick better then my abilities. Over 20 mph I just fly it, best trick is just landing it. Eventually I’ll step up to a fearless 2 vented. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

  19. You have some nice kites now Breezin. Finally had a low wind day here on the coast and got the pleasure of flying the Zephyr. I’d forgotten how well this kite likes to axle and such in light winds. Lately it’s been 10 mph and up, sometimes way up. Lol. Hopefully we get to fly together sometime in the future.
