I recall back around 1982 going into the kite store downtown Toronto and looking at some really expensive stunt kites that were over 100.00 (I think
Spinoffs) and decided on the cheaper Synasaur - I have the Eagle claw grips with the Skybond line (mix of kevlar). Started with one then soon had a
small stack which i still have somewhere. Had a lot of fun with them.
Next purchase was the 6ft Flexi, then another, another...then 8s....then 10s...
Being the only kite flier in a smaller city I was alone and never knew about staking lines out etc so launching the kites often involved getting it
flying holding the lines about 10 feet away and then trying to let equal amounts of line slide through my hands until i got to the straps.
