Hedgewarden Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 Chiming, JB. Current favorites are Silver Fox regular and vented. The UL is okay, but needs more wind than I hoped for. Very forgiving kites for this beginner - I can even axel the vented in near 20 mph winds. Also like my Tangos, Addiction, (HQ) Rave and Breeze. My abode is Chehalis, WA - midway between Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. 2 1/2 hours to Long Beach. We also have some land with RV hookups on the Long Beach Peninsula. Waiting for any decent weather -Howard Quote
John Barresi Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Posted December 24, 2008 You're already a subscriber Hedge, but still great to have you checking in. Merry Christmas eve! Quote
Grandpa Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 Heard these guys on Fox News this morning and 'tis the season to share... http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...;VideoID=748678 Chime... from Idaho Falls... ... and to all a good night. Quote
genesant Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Sounds good - - Chiming in from Corvallis, Ore. Favorite is a tough word. It implies that I like some kites less. The more experience I get the more realize each kite has a special place and time. Favorite for windy days is a RevII Favorite for light wind is a RevI Favorite when I want a workout is PowerBlast 2-4 Favorite for overall use is a Rev 1.5 Quote
John Barresi Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Posted December 25, 2008 Grandpa, genesant, all checked in. Merry Christmas! Quote
skb Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 I'm from Canada, about 100 km up the road from Steve-who-flies-2-Revs-better-than-I-can-fly-1 in Victoria. My favourite dual line kites are a re-framed HQ Zenith, Flying Wings Soul & Silver Fox 2.3 UL and R-Kites ZDXL. My favourite quad is a Mid Vent B-Series with Race Rods, though I have a set of Bazzer's B-Series on the way. Merry Christmas, everyone! Quote
linekahuna Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Good to see you on this forum, Steve. Merry Christmas, buddy. Would be nice to win a couple subscription, hey Steve. He's just down the road aways from me. We get together not enough. Have been flying together since 1990. Quote
Baloo Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Good luck all, you will LOVE it if only for the neat vids you can see. Wonder if I logged on as my wife if I could get in the free draw? Naaaah, she aint interested in kites, so I couldnt post her fave ones. Have forced her to crash a few of my Revs for me though. I am sure there might have been a spark of a smile there. Or was it a TAKE THAT type grin I wonder. Sweet offer John. Seasons stuff and all that. Quote
temoniprince Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 hey john I am a huge sea devil fan , love my Qpro sul and others and revs when i need to chill with people. i hail from new jersey , and should be in Israel. Quote
bobw Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Merry Xmas to all! Bob from NJ (the shore) and usually fly on the beach or up at Liberty State Park. New to stunt kites, and mega-hooked on Revs. So far, have an EXP, a vented, and a brand new virgin 1.5B Night midvent from awindofchange (do I detect a trend here :-). I suspect from what I've been learning, the mid will be "it". cheers! Quote
temoniprince Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 bob it says yr from afgahnastan lol Quote
Aerochic Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Merry Christmas Everyone! I'll certainly chime in on this one! I hail from Southeastern, PA. Closest "big city" is Philadelphia. My 2 favorite kites continue to be my Rev 1.5s Vented and Non as I'm learning to fly nearly anytime I want to and that's just toooooo cooooooool. I still also love my single liners and my dualie Griffin when I'm in schmoozy beach vacation mode. Embarassed to admit I don't have a subscription yet. Quote
John Barresi Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Posted December 25, 2008 Updated, 4 more on the "chime" list... Merry Christmas guys! Quote
andelscott Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Took a while to get the bells moving here, but chiming in from the county of Buckinghamshire, UK. Merry Christmas Everybody!! <Edit>Forgot to say, it's a tough call between the Rev and own built fighters / soft kite laundry, but on balance (and because it's more sociable), must be the Rev 1.5 SLE 'B' vented - assuming the winds are there for it. </Edit> Quote
