I am new to the forum and very happy to see members in the PNW....I thought I was all alone!
I just recently discovered power kites after buying a Prism Snapshot 1.9 on a whim. Now I have become addicted to the power and challenge of the
sport. We have already added a Rad buggy, Rage 3.5 and a Blade 4.9 to our collection.
I live in the Seattle area with my Wife and 3year old daughter. I am looking forward to trying some snowkiting and lots more time in the buggy. We
like to travel and will be game for family trips to the beach, desert and mountians.
We are making a trip to Sunset in March. I have been recruiting friends and co-workers to try the sport. Maybe we'll meet some of you there?
Also heavily interested into designing custom buggies (I'm an Engineer) and would welcome your comments and ideas to help improve the design.gross213 - 14-1-2008 at 12:10 PM

Thank you all for the warm welcomes.
I will post details about when and where I will be when the times gets closer. I would really like to meet some of you locals.
I could also really use a mentor, I feel pretty confidant I have the concepts down. But seeing and talking to a Pro would make my learning curve that
much steeper. Right now I have the getting jerked backwards halfway through a Jibe thing down pat!!!
Carl, it's an honnor. Your craftsmanship and your website inspired me to take the plunge into building my own. I am on your site DAILY. Its
fantastic source of reference materials and ideas!! I am leaning twards a full suspension rig so I can ride some feilds nearer to home.barnes - 14-1-2008 at 02:56 PM
Your in the area to find a mentor no problem. I'm not the only one who likes to help people get started, everyone in kiting are willing to help out.Bladerunner - 14-1-2008 at 03:38 PM
Jake from www.windflowsports.com is in Seattle. Give him a try. There is a group of us up in Vancouver if you ever get up this way.Sthrasher38 - 14-1-2008 at 06:33 PM
