Exult Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 ... if, when asked for the temperature after checking the weather forecast for tomorrow, you simply don’t know. I mean what is it to know (to make the decision) besides wind speed, wind direction, if there will be heavy rain particularly in really low wind and if the kite would be close to the sun? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I work Monday to Wednesday at the local Agricultural College (Teaching building construction and Maintenance) On my days off I work from home from 8.00am to 12 knots...........to go power kiting in my buggy or land sailing. My local "Pink Lake" I use is only 2 kilometers away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezin Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I am not a kite nut. Denial is the 1st step to denial. Number acquired doesn't have to mean you still have them.1 to 3 learning, getting good and still stable. 4 to 25 lost it a bit. Get the shakes when you look at another kite.Lots of agonizing counting pennies and doing research. Becoming dedicated to the craft. 26 to 50 you've gone nuts. See a kite you MIGHT like. Boom it's yours. Know more than you ever thought there was to know. How any sail loads or unloads makes perfect sense at a glance. Kite configurations cross your mind hourly.Permanent grin on your face when grabbing a kite even when there's no wind. 51 plus ? TOTALLY DEDICATED !!! Learning and sharing all things kites has become embedded in your soul.You might be nuts at any stage though if you think it'd be worth the trip to fly at a pink lake. 🌰🥜s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
