New to Forum, Hello from Washington

Just a quick hello from Smokey Point , Washington. looking forward to getting to know a few local flyers. Currently only fly static quad line kites and foils of all shapes and sizes. Most local flyers fly revs, so enjoy showing off controlled flight and power of foils.

Welcome to the monkey house! Always room for a few more good chimps. :)

I'm not familiar with your specific location North of Seattle for kite flying, but there is a great crew of folks that get together (at least) a couple of times a year for SOBB events just south of Astoria. Check out the SOBB subsection of this Forum.

Hello there, I'm just south and east of you in monroe. I also have heard that people fly in Everett at boxcar park by the marina.

I returned your u2u also. Talk to you later.

Don't let Eric fool you with his fancy SS shenanigans. Are you looking to resolve your static issue? Buggy? Board? Both? Haha. Welcome to monkey house.

I've been known to say "Whatever puts a smile on your face while you are holding onto kite strings...."

I've got a mix of everything in my quiver. Depower and fixed bridal power kites, several revolution quads, two line stunt kites, indoor kites(quad and single) and some home made indoor kites.

My true love is being in motion and I love the safety and simplicity of my single skinned depowers (as Collins said " that's civilized"). But I have no objection to whatever anyone chooses to fly.

Most everyone that I have met in various kite communities are great people. (Other than blitzhound ;))
