Eric Allen Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Don't know-my mother-in-law is in town and I have no idea what's planned. I'll be there if I can get away. I'll be super rusty and my kites will be out of tune. Big fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kite Shoppe Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Great! I'll try for Saturday! (weather permitting......) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Sarah and I will join you on Sunday. Spent the last couple of afternoons there in fact, and progressed my quad-line skills enough that I won't be completely embarrassed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Super, hope to see many of you there... If you've got 120' quad lines, we can do some team flying too! Regardless of skill, I'm all too happy to share my experience on both quads and duals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
