My new toy!

I got a somewhat unexpected bonus from work, so I decided the prudent thing to do would be to blow it all in one go! Big Mike was happy to oblige! Thanks for taking my bonus, Big Mike! :D

I'm really looking forward to getting this baby in the air and see how it flies compared to my venom.

But of course.. it's windy all week, then the day I get a new kite, the wind goes away!

I guess this means I can can no longer tease you about how awesome the charger 2 is since you now own one :-) Enjoy it! I'm sure you will!

Yep! Now I get to tease you about how "mine is bigger than yours!" :evil:

I f$&Ľking LOVE new kite day.

I'll post my very first NEW new kite day next week. Getting a brand spanking new 12m Cronix.

Congrats!! I'm so excited for you. The 15 is definitely the sweet spot, from what I've heard & experienced. Good choice!

I'm hoping to get out and try her for the first time today! I will report as soon as I can :D. Congrats on the new cronix! I don't know anything about that kite. Mostly for water right?

Water, Snow, Land, but yeah, I bought it mostly for water. What part of the U.S. are you in? Cold as hell out here today and no wind. Heading up to the mountains for -4 degrees and 10-15 tomorrow :).

>What part of the U.S. are you in?
Dallas. It's cold here, and we even had some snow on the ground this morning.. but nothing like you see there!

How'd it go? I still haven't been able to fly yet :( Sometime this week! The suspense is killing me!

Hey SpecialK-
sort of hijacking by replying! Would love to get your findings of your new toy when you get a chance to get out - it has to be awesome!

Dave and I did get out yesterday.....turned out to be mostly a scouting trip. I piled 250 miles on my car. Loveland pass was closed due to adverse conditions so we couldn't kite there.....Fremont pass yielded nothing....Leadville yielded nothing. Wound up circling back to get about 90 minutes of snow kiting at Farmers corner in Dillon...enough snow with just some weed tops popping through. Winds were pretty much all over the place but it isn't even Thanksgiving by a long shot and we got out to snowkite...totally feels like we stole one!...wasn't too bad temp wise! Soon Rabbit Ears Pass will be ideal
