i ve been sitting on my new to me venom 2 for what feels like for ever now... it seems like as soon as it showed up it got sunny and still.. not a
breath of wind... well a small amount here and there and it seems like it only happens when im at work...
so my question is this ...:puzzled: what god to have to make an offering to?, is there some dance i can do? id do it i really would..
went all the way to the coast today hoping to find some all i got where some cools shots of the sunset flickr photo
well hope some one knows how to solve this.. thanks for listening Todd - 24-1-2011 at 02:27 AM
Cool shots indeed! Nice work with the photography, another one of many hobbies that I enjoy.PHREERIDER - 24-1-2011 at 07:08 AM
"new gear fever" has nothing to do with the wind.
it'll pass, you'll fly and all will great, just like the pic!highazakite - 24-1-2011 at 04:40 PM
@todd thanks for the props.. i guess multiple hobbies helped me as i did get some "win " out of the day despite the wind skunking.
@phree.. well im glad you think new gear has nothing to do with the wind.. even though the evidence points to the opposite ill head your words.. and
thanks as well..Txshooter38 - 24-1-2011 at 05:03 PM
The new gear curse is real....
My next kite is Flysurfer 19m so I will not be effected by the no wind curse!!!!:wee:WELDNGOD - 24-1-2011 at 05:56 PM
every time I get a new kite the wind refuses to blow.stetson05 - 24-1-2011 at 09:43 PM

I have to admit that I have been cursed by all my new kites. The one exception was my 19m speed 2.5. It will fly in about 2mph. I can't really do
much with it but it will fly and create some pull.furbowski - 25-1-2011 at 12:50 PM
The newer the gear and/or the more you are anticipating flying the kite, the worse the kite curse will hit.
I recently bought my 4th ace, a little 2m, vaguely hoping for a kite to play with on the 15-25 mph days... I was able to fly it the next day.
But when I bought my 6.5 blade a couple years ago (my first big kite beyond 5m) I was skunked for weeks.
Hang in there, the winds gods will smile again... highazakite - 25-1-2011 at 07:08 PM
thanks again for the support all... still no wind.. i work semi outside in an auto shop... the shop has the lot that wraps around it on both sides..
on this lot are 50 or so 5' x 7' flags... they hang lifeless..... all day.................. for weeks now ............Taper123 - 25-1-2011 at 07:37 PM
Wind forecast looks good for when my new toys will arrive... but of course, I said something, so now there will be no wind.Cheddarhead - 28-1-2011 at 11:05 PM
Your not alone. My synergy arrived a while back and I've only had it out once because the wind refuses to cooperate. I've done a couple wind dances
for the both of us, but no such luck in this neck of the woods. erratic winds - 29-1-2011 at 12:01 AM
You could always go the other way with it, when I got my 6m I went out foolishly in 17 gusting to 40+Cheddarhead - 29-1-2011 at 11:52 AM
No thanks, this way is better IMHO.furbowski - 29-1-2011 at 12:25 PM

that's the other way the kite curse works -- if you get wind it's evil stuff, not the nice easy stuff you want for a first flight. Especially when
sizing up, eh?highazakite - 29-1-2011 at 12:27 PM
well it looks like about 10mph is coming my way yaeah... to bad its coming with 90% chance of rain... may just go and try it out any way, thats why i
have a drying line hung up in the garage....
@ the high wind problem.. yea i agree no wind is better than too much.. still remember flying like 20 feet on my 3m not on purpose .... havnt tried
scary since...Cheddarhead - 30-1-2011 at 02:09 AM
Calling for 12mph to 16 for this coming Wednesday/Thursday. If it holds true it will be on my two days off work. Can't ask for much better to
experiment with.:bouncy:
