RobB Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hey there... After a rough winter, we've been having a chilly, windy spring so far. Windy with the rare exception of last Sunday... The lack of wind was nice & very welcome for a change, I'm getting tired of flying vents and having my arms lengthened. I had the video camera to attempt to capture some footage for the upcoming VF contest, but I wasn't able to come up with many tricks on tape, the main trick was having a kite in the air at all... Enjoy... ~Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the Cedar beach on the north shore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see some (old school) tricks make so nice a combo!!! hey Wayne... glad you like 'old school' tricks, because that's all I dare to try with that kite... it's so fragile, I'm afraid of breaking it the whole time I'm flying it. The sail isn't much more than saran wrap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sail isn't much more than saran wrap... I've got several old Prisms, 3-D, Ozone, Alien, and love them all!! Now I'm flying Revs mostly, got some vented to cut down on the pull!! Enjoy flying whatever stays up!!! Never could afford a Vapor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose to fly with 2 lines years ago... My four line flying is pretty weak. I enjoy both, but just have limitted time. As far as the rocky beach.... the Island I live on is actually a glacial deposit, made up from all the garbage the glacier pushed down from New England, at least that's what we've got on the north shore. The south shore has nice beaches with sand like you are used to. I fly at this beach because it's close to my house, but it takes a toll on the nocks of the kites, and I can never go barefoot. ~Rob.

Enjoy flying whatever stays up!!! Never could afford a Vapor!! I also have a bunch of Prism kites, the Ozone being one of my favorites. I had to trade one of my most prized kites, an Exile UL Moonie to get the Vapor, but I had to see what it was like to fly a Vapor... not too much different than the Ozone, just a little bigger.

Wayne Dowler Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Since I'm flying Revs more than dualies, my SUL gets a lot of work in the wimpy winds we usually get!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
