Burn it all, oops I mean bring it all. iPhone auto correct.






J/king - seriously can you not stuff it all into a paraglider bag?
I can fit 1.5 sets of racekites from 2m to 16m.

Or use a SpaceBag to compress them.

leave any thing that says pansh on it behind. That should lighten your load :moon:

Yes Ziplock makes these cool vacuum suck / seal travel bags too

Burn them, I'll shout that when I go past you and Dakitez.....:frog:

Its all about don't get passed and find people to pass. At least among those you've been boisterous with on the forum!

Throw the kite up and ride. Who cares who's passing who. :)

If they are smiling and looking over their shoulder after they pass you, then that's one of them. I don't mean "you" in particular, but I'll be smiling if I get past you and you can count on some ribbing from Dino and Rip too. All in good fun of course.

KB - make sure you're in on the races (they are VERY informal but good courses). Rip can go pretty fast...but only in a straight line I think.:saint:
