Yea, I'd lose that one.

Good to hear from you. I notice the calmer the wind the quicker response on my e-mails etc. Fear not, though, it's going to rain like hell the minute I spread my kites on the grass to dry and refold.

Great thread. I need to add my 7 letters: STRETCH. As an old marathoner (and still recovering from a serious multi-bone wrist fracture from years ago), the art of Stretching is a good one to learn and really loosens up the fiddle strings for a day of activity. I also found that giving up the lumberj...

As a veteran of kite events I could fill the page with advice all day long. However, a real simple way to "weatherproof" your weekend and make it cool is to bring in a key rider or manufacturer that would have a slide show or presentation on riding style/locations/kite design. I'm sure we ...

There have been a number of one-pump systems adapted to our Crossbows, although none are from Cabrinha. One-pumps are super convenient but leave the leading edge gasping for air. Look for this innovation to be addressed and improved upon as kites continue to innovate. I know the issue is front-and-c...

Brians 10m Access was "tree'd" on a previous demo. We have plenty of Frenzy's an all other Access sizes. I'm sure we can work with you on arranging a 10m demo at a later date.

Ah! That figures. I'll be in a trade show in Michigan that week.

I'm thinking I'm only going to need one of my Crossbows for the show, so if you need one to try-out we can try to get one to you.

Let me know.
