Is anyone going kiting tomorrow?

I was thinking of going kiting tomorrow and would definately drive down to Milly if there were people interested in going. I'm a beginner and would enjoy meeting some of you and learning some things.

Safety for a beginner

I am a beginner. I bought a nasa wing kite two years ago and the first time I took it out after about 15 minutes of flying the kite caught a gust and draged me about 20ft on the ground before I could even let go. OUCH!!!! I learned the value of kite leashes that day. I have only flown new my inflata...

This next week the wind is only going to be in the 8-9mph range. So I need a light wind kite. I'm just not sure if my Yarga is going to do it. I do want to g...

Thanks everyone for your info. This is truly a great community.

Ok I'm looking at say a 12m Bow kite or a 13.5 "C" kite.

What is the advantage of a Bow? Is it worth the price differance?

Thanks,
TJ

As the wind picked up a bit ...

Kite size and wind speed question

My name is TJ Lydon. I'm new to kiting this year. I have a question I hope you guys could help me out with. I've been reading the forums for a little while now and I notice sometimes you talk about the wind being stronger higher up. I'm wondering if that happens every where and if so is there a gene...
