I just got my first power kite in today. It's a Twister II 3 meter. The wind picked up from 8-10 mph to atleast 15-20 so I definitely had the #@%$#!
scared out of me when I left the ground. Anyways just wanted to introduce myself. I'm already addicted and glad I sold my Rev for this kite.

i have a stunt kite named that... st0rk - 28-3-2010 at 10:46 AM
went to the beach yesterday, winds 15+, this time I connected the lines the right way haha, last time I had the top lines on the left side and the
brake lines on the right that might have been why the kite didnt respond for #@%$#!, anyways I did some skudding and I soon was tempted to do some
jumps even though people advised against jumping with anything less than 5m, some went well then one jump felt like my bone was going to pop out my
leg, so I'll stick to skudding and maybe pick up a landboardacampbell - 28-3-2010 at 11:01 AM
No worries; you are not the first to make a rigging mistake. Sounds like you are getting things sorted and learning fast. Best of luck...
