John Barresi Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Getting a little extra Barressence in the sail before a clinic, I go the extra mile to give my students every possible advantage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, that's about the only thing you didn't try on that dual-line stack at Busse Woods! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim P. Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 My next kite was going to be a SUL/UL dual line. Just came across good deal on a Cavalier du Ciel STX 2.1 UL, a Skyburner Nik Nak and a Gomberg 7 foot ghost delta. So not sure what's going to be next. REALLY wanted a new Rev they had there.... There's always next time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave362 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I just ordered Lam's new GPS, so I guess that's my next kite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookboy Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 My Wala XL arrived, so now my next kite is either a 7ft Ghost, or a vented Rev B series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHBKF Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 So a little over three weeks ago I was waiting on the vented B. It arrived & already has it's own story to tell. Mentioned the next might be a Pro Dancer SUL & now I just love the one I found which arrived last week. So a day or two later I was thinking, what kite would I really like after the latest arrivals. Next day I called up Kites & Fun Things to see if there were any Solus EC kites left. It's the limited run of kites with Prismatex panels. Marieanne said enough material for five more kites was available. I ordered an ultralight version for my inland mountain conditions, same colors as the promotional video. I must be dreaming. The KiteLife is a good life. Maybe I should look at single line kites next or perhaps a Shook Mesh Rev..... SHBKF update: Looks like another 1.5 SLE Rev headed to the Dark Side of the Blue Ridge too. Rev "Number 13" will be it's name. It will match Number 1 & be the beginning of a stacked set. If you begin naming your kites, you might be a kite nut. http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/6407-you-might-be-a-kite-nut/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Seven SUL from Sport Kite Design. It will be a colour match to my Seven Standard. I should have it in time for the gentle winter breezes. Then, I'm waiting on the development of the Vented version for Spring/Summer. How are you enjoying the "B"?

Dave362 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 So now you have the whole set? Very cool! I've been looking closely at those. Seems like a very capable, very modern kite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 So now you have the whole set? Very cool! I've been looking closely at those. Seems like a very capable, very modern kite. Not quite a whole set, missing the UL... Capable of more than I but working on that. I really like the feel of a full size kite. Solid. Great looker too!

Dave362 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I've got Lam's new GPS on the way, should be here next week. When the dust settles from that, I may look at the Seven. The sail panels are so beautiful. Gotta admit, for me looks are really important. I mean, you stare at the thing for hours. It has to be visually appealing...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Lam's kites have a really cool look. If I'm buying something high end, I would like to be really happy with how it looks. Otherwise I'll get a solid colour... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makatakam Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Finally got to fly and take a couple of photos of the new Rainbow Radical Spiro which is wearing the French Bridle I got from the folks at Flying Smiles over winter. Jury still out on the Frenchie. Also took a photo of the B-Pro midvent from my set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photomom Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I was looking at a Skydog Little Dreamer to train with my Dream On. And also considering a Kites Unlimited Custom Vented Rev. Well, the Easter bunny delivered the vented Rev this morning. Signed and numbered. I like it that both my Kites Unlimited Custom Revs are #3s. Happy coincidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave362 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 left town this morning on business. I'll get some shots this weekend. The sewing and attention to detail, plus the extra framing I got, as well as the new skyclaws, this is gonna be one sweet ride He has covered pockets sewn into the sail to cover and smooth every possible snag. When I ordered it, he talked to me for a half hour on the phone, determining my local wind conditions and flying style. Then he configured it with a custom frame to meet my needs as well as 3 pt and 5 pt lower spreaders for different winds. I'm so happy with how I was treated in this purchase. A custom kite like this costs, and this is my first, But the satisfaction I already have just from how it was all handled has made it well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
