d'Bear Delivers!

Looks like our Bear is saving the best for last as it hangs onto its white furry coat. Today we got WIND along with a great surface. Even Kurt & Winter were seen actually down sizing their kites. My 8.4 foil was powered to the max, & after a session on the 6.3, it decided to take flight on its own. Thanks, Mike B, for saving it from the kite eating tree! It was inspiring to see you all going for it this afternoon. I heard rumors about tomorrow...

yeah, you were boosting huge today Mike. Don't think Kurt got your longest hangtime either. I saw one where you hovered, then rose then floated down feather smooth. Nice

Roger...... it was fun seeing you catching air out on WBL tonight. You were doing a great job with the 11 meter in those winds.

It was good meeting and putting names and faces to the posts I've been reading .After today I have to rethink my next kite I was considering a8.5 Blade . Then again today was a little windier than normal. For those of you that have experianced alot of kites, what are some of your favorites ? And why? All answers appreciated. Thanks Mark L

Awesome boosts Mike W!!! It was great running a few windy days back to back with snow, and looking forward to the days getting longer so we can see Rog out at the Bear again

Mark
good to finally meet you as well.

My suggestion regarding kites is to demo as many as you can. They all feel a bit different and vary on Range/Relaunch Ease/Unhooked Riding/Gust Handling/Price/ etc.

Next time you see me at the lake, let me know and you can demo any of the Slingshot kites I have. Or contact one of these riders to check out other brands:

Lots of great options out there.

Thanks, guys. Great day out there. My apologies to anyone I may have landed near. Let's do it again at Mahtomedi today!
