New paid member..... I would like my number also. Thanks! Will

Hi All, Well for the last 2 weeks the wind has either been way to much or none at all. It's been fun for the snapshot. Mornings have been nice but work gets in the way! Last night there was a small breeze but I think my tomato stakes kept me from doing to much. Spent about 45 min getting it about 20' in the air then back down again. I could launch but then it would not stay up. Kind of tough. It looks like they are trying to get the Boise Kite Festival going again. So this weekend we are headed up there to see what it looks like. It runs from 9 to noon and the facebook page for it was started at the end of March so not expecting to much but you never know. Will

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! Terry.. I did go into Tradewinds(I think that was the name) but I was just looking around. We flew at LC on Monday which was the only nice day for weather. We also went to Indian Beach and 2 others on the way to Coos Bay and did flying. (Got a cool float also) I will let you know when I am back over that way. I am hoping to get in a fishing trip this fall. Where are these classes you speak of!?!?! I would love to attend! I know about the festival in Utah and I hope to be able to attend. There is also a local family/kids festival in Twin Falls May 10th and 11th. This will be there 3rd Annual Kite Days. This is off their Facebook page.... "Kite Days are back! Bring your friends and family out to Sunway Soccer Complex Saturday and Sunday, May 10th-11th for fun in the wind! The Twin Falls City Youth Council is inviting you to join in the games, food, and more. All ages are invited, and best of all it's FREE!" I was hoping to find more local fliers here but I guess it has to start somewhere so I guess I am it. Thanks again for all the reply's! Will

Hello All… I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I am Will and live in the Twin Fall, Idaho area. I am just getting back into kite flying after about 10 years. The kids have all moved out of the house so I enjoy being outside, gardening and playing LOTRO. Two weeks ago was our spring break (My wife and I work for a k-12 school) so I setup a 5 day stay at Depoe Bay, Oregon. A few days before leaving I picked up 2 new Prism Kites. A Stowaway Parafoil and a Snapshot 1.4. We had a blast even with all the rain. One day flying at Lincoln City beach someone had a Revolution and man was I hooked! After talking with him and visiting the 2 stores there I knew I needed to try these wonderful kites. After our return I started searching craigslist and was surprise to find one near Boise. I had a VA appointment on the 1st of April in Boise and so I came home with my new Rev 1.5. I am the 4th owner of this kite. I was surprised of the condition, a RTF, some fraying, small LE tears where it folds and only one Leading edge spar, the SLE. All in all a great buy I think. I have been watching videos every night after work but still have not been out to fly it yet. Real life has gotten in the way this past week. I hope to get out soon! I am looking to see if there is anyone else in the Twin Fall area on the forum and to know where you fly. Thanks for reading! Will
