mystainedskin Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 At the recent gathering. I met some local fliers. Richard and Sue Carter.This is a sample of their collection. It was the day after i joined them and missed it, as we had light winds the day I was there. I look forward to my single line collection growing to this caliber one day Cant wait for our next outing in Jacksonville I don't know who took the picture, as i shared it from Sue......so I cant give credit where due. Between Sue and Richard and the folks sharing so much from Kitingtampabay...... it has inspired me to take this single line journey for awhile 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Before you know it, you'll be shopping for a bag just for single line kites.... Yep! I've got two, dual line kite bags, a quad line kite bag, and a single line kite bag, plus a flight box for the dual & quad linesets, spikes, straps, handles, etc, and now, there's a duffel bag, just to haul around, single line hoops, sand anchors, anchor straps, carabiners, pulleys, etc, etc, etc, just for the single line kites..................Sheesh ! Where does this stuff end? Now let's see, I think I need a flowform / ultrafoil, or something like that ! I don't have one of those and then maybe.................? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what a flowform is but an ultrafoil... off to google I go. And that usually ends in a purchase! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of an Ultrafoil....would just be a smaller version of the floform,skyform,sutton. Usually in the 15sqft range of surface area. Popular k.a.p. platform,small,powerful,stable lifter design... And higher wind use due to smaller design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I know what a flowform is but an ultrafoil... off to google I go. And that usually ends in a purchase! @ SR............. Well, as I understand it, the Ultrafoil 15, is an new and updated version of the Flowform. It's an "Into the Wind" kite http://www.intothewind.com/shop/Whats_New/ITW_UltraFoil_15_Kite , and only became available, either July or August 29th. Lot's of people were waiting on them. It's suppose to be great for KAP, Line Laundry (very stable), and for just plain fun flying. Good from 5 - 30 mph, and all that other stuff that "mystaynedskin" mentioned. The one review that I was able to find, is very good, and done by a guy in NZ, that has just about every SLK imaginable http://www.jimskites.co.nz/reviews.html . If you look at some of the KAP discussions, on line, you'll see what he was comparing it to.............he seems to think that this kite is made, exceptionally well, comparatively - I think I need one , and I don't even KAP. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very kewl kite (Ultrafoil 15), if I could just find the time, the wind, and the appropriate place, to put it in the air, and not totally destroy it in a tree !
