Yes. You have to. Bring out your Kites Unlimited custom kite. We will get a mass accession on of the days. Fun, fun, fun. Marshall

I'm stoked and ready for our Southern Outer Banks (SOBX) kite festival at Atlantic Beach, NC. Don, Jeri and Brett Dixon are hosting the latest in a long line of kite festivals based in the Atlantic Beach area. Visiting from the West Coast will be the Sundowners, Ray Wong and Randy Toms. More local kiting celebrities Chris from HQ, Cath & Eliot Shook, and I think Jim from Sky Dog will be at the fest. Several Kitelife regulars and local pilots will be on the field with SLK's, Rev's, dualies and fighter kites. Talented pilots and skilled kite building craftsmen will be available in a laid back, friendly atmosphere. This event last year was my first festival. I put up a SLK, kept the Rev in the trunk. That didn't last long as several rev fliers were more than ready to help teach me to fly the quad. The weekend started me on an adventure (read addiction) with all kinds of kites. The weather is promising to be wonderful with our great daily breezes to allow all kinds of kite flying. Free fly, compete, watch, participate, teach, demonstrate, learn... you got it all available at this event. I will be there, if you are not then you are the one missing out. Marshall

Ok Karma fans, up for grabs is a two component offering. One of my latest stake holders and a Buka Fighter Kite. The stake holder is tan on OD green and is made to my new standard length and positioning. The Buka is one that I just completed. Light weight Mylar film is attached to carbon fiber rods for a nice, easy to fly fighter. I completed the project while chatting on KiteLife last night and took the project out for a tuning fly this evening. It is a very smooth flying design which is easy to steer. If you’ve never flown a fighter you will be in for a treat. These are simple single line kites which rig up in seconds. Many times we pull out fighters to fly when we first get to the field and more than once they have stayed out for hours because we have so much fun with them. Good luck, remember it’s “I’m in” to officially get in this Karma drawing which will be decided by the RNG. Standard Karma Note from the Moderators: This is a Karma Drawing. The winner of the drawing is expected to pay it forward by offering their own prize for the next drawing. Please do not enter unless you are willing to offer your own prize, preferably not the prize you just won. Drawings should be open for entry approximately 2 weeks, and the next drawing should be posted as soon as possible to keep the Karma rolling. These drawings are run by and for KiteLife members. The moderating team only ensures that your drawing post contains all of the pertinent information (drawing date/time, adequate prize description, drawing rules) before approval. If you are a KiteLife member from the US or Canada, you are eligible to enter. You do not have to be a paid subscriber. Members from Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii are welcome to enter the Karma drawings provided they are willing to pay half of the Karma prize shipping cost. The method and timing of the payment will be agreed upon between the two parties after the drawing for a particular prize. Here is the link to the original Rules and Guidelines thread: http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/5426-rules-and-guidelines-please-read/ The mechanism for the drawing itself is entirely at the discretion of the person offering the prize. In the past, entry number has been determined either by order of entry or by the post number in which the member declares entry into the drawing. The drawings have been performed using the RNG method (http://www.random.org/sequences/) or by choosing the numbers out of a hat (I believe an adorable daughter did the picking in that scenario). The only requirement is that the method of selection is clearly spelled out in the drawing post. Entry into the drawings is done by STARTING a post in the drawing thread with the entry phrase chosen by the drawing host (Traditionally "I'm in", but "I LIKE" has been used as well). In order to remove any confusion or misinterpretation, only entries with posts that START with the phrase will be considered. As with all other KiteLife drawings, bantering is encouraged. This is for fun after all.

The Buff has arrived and is perfect. Thanks again Nick for a nice Karma offering. I am ready now to list out the next Karma prize. Watch for the new thread listing. Marshall

Thanks Nick. Great prize, it will get good use. PM sent with details. Barton, I'll be working on the next prize. Give me a couple of days to get it ready and I will get with you to get the post up. Marshall

With one hand..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in. I'll work on what to give away if I'm lucky enough to win again. I'll keep this kite to give to an aspiring Rev flier. Get them fully hooked. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have to get back to Portland somehow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Be sure to go Nick. Experience the session and enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We do not have the mic but share your experience with JB teaching us to team fly. Big smiles all around. We had a blast and can't wait to get together and work on our moves.

I will be happy to make another Kite stake holder. I'll look around for other kite stuff to add. Anyone want to add in something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've flown my supersonic wit 25' tales. With wind they add a nice dimension to flying. I'd avoid reverse and dive stops. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone find a source for Skybond bulk? I can buy at my LKS but they measure it by foot and the price is high. I make my own lines and would like bulk line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a lot of LaserPro Gold versus Skybond debate but the Skybond definitely handles the wraps better, slicker than LPG. I use and like both but Skybond handles the twists better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Minor leaf and branch cleanup but no real storm damage here. Flew the Bulldog II with a 75' tube tale then what else but the American Flag Rev. Got lots of comments today. Oh yeah the drawing. Congratulations to LarryOKC. Send me pm with your address and I'll get it on its way. RNG results for the 7 entrants were: 7, 6, 3, 5, 2, 4, 1 Thanks for participating.

I have 7 at this point. Still some time before the drawing. We are just hanging out waiting for the hurricane to blow over. Should be clear skies and good wind tomorrow afternoon. I just hope no real damage anywhere. 1. Must86 2. Tmadz 3. Bbailey49 4. Elmo264 5. Dragonfish 6. Nick Russell 7. LarryOKC Marshall
