tried my buddys blaze 10m-then my flysurfer speed 12.5--pretty weird after only flying fb for a year.......the load is now shifted from the arms back
and shoulders, to the waist and legs--have to get used to that--also,had to resist temptation to pull in bar while launching....all in all a good
experience!! now its time to get some practice in and LOTS of it-- i can see why everyone loves their depowers--its def a different skill set,
though.........Jovver - 18-7-2009 at 07:06 PM
Haha, glad you enjoyed it Don! We definitely need to fly again soon. Post those pics that you took if you can. Oh and btw, that Flysurfer of yours
is actually a 2003 Psycho, so I lied to you inadvertently. Oops.kitejumper - 19-7-2009 at 06:11 AM

After many months of trying to get the GF to try her harness and my depower (10m AlaSCa), she finally did it. She immediately said "More wind, I want
more wind." I was left with a sinking feeling that I was not going to be flying my kite anytime soon. This what happened when I got her to try my
buggy, she used mine, I borrowed. I asked if we were going to need another depower for her; her reply, "I thought you gave the AlaSCa to me for my
birthday." So much for that kite. I guess my next video will be "Dusty Does De-Power".
Having a girl friend who kites is not always as good as you might think. You have no problem getting to go fly, but half your gear is suddenly
inaccessible.

Ha! At least she's actually interested and you have someone to fly with. I need to find a girl that is as obsessed with theses kites as I am!Scudley - 21-7-2009 at 05:38 AM

You will never find one; you need to find a girl you like and give her the obsession. Start with a small kite on a day when it is not going to give
her a face plant and work up from there.
