After spending the weekend with Ragden and other PKF members, I was reminded to come back and say Hi!
Its been awhile, not much has changed. Flying my PL Scrop 16m (I'm going to start a thread to talk about the kite, as it seems people have been
confused about it.) Got my 4 year old snowboard thats beat up, but moving forward, my Trampa jerry rigged landboard, and a long term borrowed litewave
board. I'm moving in all aspects, happy with my gear, and thus, I kind of disappeared off of the fourms considering I never needed to look for gear or
advice. However, I realize at this point, I should still hang around to return the favor of help and advice that was so kindly given to me here as I
started!
Sadly, I'm living in West Philadelphia (born and raised, on the playgrounds where...) for school, so I'm not kiting as much as I wished, both due to
location, and how much goddamn work Drexel University likes to give out. (Need a NPW for some parking lot kiting!) Luckily, I'll be working next Fall
and Winter rather then being in class, so I should have much more time to kite...hopefully!
I'm going to try to make it to Tug Hill for the Rally in a few weeks, and I'll be at the Wildwood events too, hopefully.
Carry on everyone! power - 5-1-2010 at 07:04 PM
Glad to have you back. Can't wait to hear what you have to say about the scorp I'm contemplating a new kite and can't figure out what to get.mgatc - 5-1-2010 at 07:28 PM
Love my 10m Scorp! What a great workhorse for 15+ knots and above. Just plain fun.power - 5-1-2010 at 07:31 PM

I'm still surprised my board didn't fall apart! I was wobbling away at that point, thought the bolts were just going to fly off! Maven454 - 6-1-2010 at 08:43 AM
You don't happen to need a back up 16m Scorpion, do you? I'm selling one :D.barnes - 6-1-2010 at 10:26 AM

If you can promise that is has better light wind then mine...then yes...if I had money! You'll be at the Snowkite Rally right? I'll be flying my
Scrop, maybe it can convince some people to check yours out! Maven454 - 6-1-2010 at 10:29 AM
