I took my kids to my favorite park a week ago Saturday to fly their single line kites. When we arrived I found there was a group of about 4 to 6
people all there flying kites as well. I asked a guy if they were a club or something and he said no, that he had just organized a bunch of friends to
come and fly kites for fun. He also had a bucket full of dollar store plastic kites to hand out to interested kids... it was a really fun day at the
park with the kiddos and I really got then interested in flying kites. My older daughter also expressed a interest in learning to fly my 2 line HQ
symphony.
In passing I exchanged friendly words with the same guy and found he would be back out the following week for the same kind of day with friends... I
get the feeling he is really into single and double line stuff and is probably "the kite guy" amongst his friends.
I came back out this last Saturday with the buggy and quiver and found him there again and when he saw my gear in action, I believe is response was
something to the effect of "...dude, thats hard core..."
He seemed like a really nice guy and I hope to see him out again. Hopefully we can grow up another kiter in the Atlanta area.rocfighter - 20-3-2013 at 10:35 AM
Very nice of him to film you. He look like a good kiter to know!bigkid - 20-3-2013 at 10:38 AM
Nice job of making the kite work for you.:bigok:
I would say you needed a 10m for the day, less work and a higher PB. Keep up the good work.sunset-Jim - 20-3-2013 at 01:18 PM

That was actually right at the beginning if the day with my biggest kite. A little later the wind picked up and I broke out the 4m and ended up with a
new PB (see siggy below).
The space I have to ride there is not super big so going fast runs you out of space super fast,... And I like being under powered anyway.
