Freakin kite killers

So I went out to the lake with my family today and figured I'd take the kite along just in case an opportunity presented itself. Naturally, I made sure it did

We pulled up to a nice spot with enough room to fly, winds were fine not great but it worked. I got in about an hour before my parents and their friends were ready to go. I packed up in a hurry and guess what i forgot...... FREAKIN KITE KILLERS. Went back for them cause I figured not many people would have been through there (had to drive up by boat) but there were a bunch of drunk college looking 'kids' that had set up a volleyball net and just kept asking me what kind of wolf I had since my dog swam to shore with me instead of listening to my persistent "where's my black arm band things".

Guess I will be ordering some new ones soon ish.... guess i just needed to vent :/ My dad didn't understand my frustration that these people my age weren't able to answer whether they'd seen them and just how freakin much I wanted to find the stupid things.


ANDDDDD its supposed to rain tomorrow. Bad start to the week for kiting....

Bummer.

Presents a good case study for leaving your kite-killers attached to your kite when you put everything away. Unless you are taking off your lines after you finish flying the kite (not something many people flying fixed-bridle kites do).

I also used to keep a spare set of kite-killers in my bag in case one snapped, or I borrowed someone's kite who didn't have killers on it. They are not very expensive to order. Maybe order an extra set when you do?

Just a thought.

send me your address and I will send you 2 sets for free, one for your kite and one for your arms. haha
glad to see you are interested in safety

Good on ya Jeff! THIS is why when people ask how many of my friends kite, I tell them, "None, but I have a huge family that does."

A Good Samaritan is what you are BIG KID
