Well I just got back from my first flight or ride
with my new HQ Beamer IV 3.0m
I must say I did not expect so much from this kite, which i am very happy about :wee:
Winds were about 15-20mph, which is why i was drug all over the field and had maybe a couple 1-2 foot hops. I brought a friend with me and maybe have
a video up soon. I think I'm already addicted to another damn hobby haha.

re run of my first flight sitting down and butt scudding all over the place. Lots of fun.

Hell yes, prolly a little much wind to be learnin on but man it was crazy awesome.
My friend thought it was the coolest thing, even though i didn't let him try it, 
Anyway, I need to get in some practice so when i get to San Diego on Sunday, i dont look completely noob

I like the "Dog-with-itchy-butt" slide there looks like fun!

We call that a "skooch" in Canada......the only difference between a kiter and a dog doing it is the dog will stop and go back and smell the tracks
:sniff:
hehehehe

Not sure if you have red ants where you live. Just be sure you do not land on a nest scuding around. Been there done that.

Well i went out again today around 5ish, and the winds were quite crappy:bigok:
Anyway it gave me a chance to handle the guide and make me put it where i wanted it and found good and bad spots of the wind window.
Heres some pics and a vid i hate a friend take.
