New Kite!!

Received my new kite from DaKitez. Thanks Dino! It is awesome. I have reaffirmed my addiction to this sport. Look out wallet it's going to be a rough year:roll:
I picked up a Peter Lynn Twister II 5.6 Love love love it!
:wee:
This kite will definitely take some practice to get used to. Here is a pic of me on the maiden launch.

That is indeed an awesome kite! I had one for a little bit, and man can it bite you in those gusts, so watch out!!!

That thing looks huge. What size is it?

I'm guessing it's a Peter Lynn Twister II 5.6 :lol: I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who doesn't read things properly :D

That one is indeed the 5.6m but it's the latest version (II R), ;)

One superb FB which I'm also a proud owner, :D

I have only taken it out in VERY low winds. If I were to take it out in anything gusty I may need to bring along an extra pair of undies. :o

Fresh undies might come in handy. :D Make sure you outfit with helmet and pads. Definitely knee pads. Butt pads can save the day. For me, elbow pads are optional.

Will definately be safety geared up when I take it out in anything over 5 mph winds. :thumbup:
Safety First!

Glad you are enjoying it and playing it safe. I have also been cautious about the conditions I have taken mine out in. So far, so fun!

I love that kite! The Symphony was the hook but the Twister is what hauled me into the boat. :roll:
