Alright guys so i just got my new kite in and i wanted to give a little review from the point of a newbie. WOW!!!!! I just got it in the mail today
and dang, HQ has it goin! It comes with really great instructions, tips, and a promotional Vid too which is pretty cool. Even the backpack it comes in
looks like great quality, it looks like they have thought of everything! the brake bridal has the knots tied in it and they made it to be able to fly
from the 3rd knot, so you have the 1, 2 and 4, 5 for play room. Great engineering on their part! I can't wait to get this thing out there!!! This next
weekend i'm SO going to get it up. 
I'll keep you posted on my first flight on
this badboy :P(I say badboy and it's only a 3m haha, but to me, it is AWESOME!)

Believe me, it can be bad if you push your new limits too soon. I did it with mine and went flying on my second time out. Force adds up fast as the
wind increases. That kite is a bucking bronco at 25 mph. Take it easy but put some hours in with it and you will really grow your skills. You will
always love that kite as well. In time it will be your relaxing, just have fun kite, or allow you to still fly in higher winds than you would dare
this weekend. Congrats and have fun and fly safe.

Congrats on the new kite! I've got a beamer TSR 3.6, and can attest that you need to be careful and start in light winds to get an idea of what to
expect. Have a great time!

my first kite was a beamer, so have fun and fly safe.

The beamer was my first 4 line kite it is very predictable. But if you push your limits it is more powerful than it might look.
have fun and fly safe

Alright so i Finally was able to get this thing out there today, it was AWESOME!! i took it to a nearby park where there's usually a lot of soccer
games going on, it took awhile for my wife and i to find a suitable spot. Especially because i was a bit nervous and wanted to make sure i had PLENTY
of room hahaha. So anyways pulled the kite out, took me a sec to get it going because i pulled the kite out first and then the lines and then the
handles, then i realized that was a mistake. Lol! and once i got it all set up i realized i had the wrong strings on the wrong parts of the kite! LOL!
so i had to undo that. BUT! after all that, i got it up and OH MAN!!! that is so awesome you guys. I believe the wind was at least 8mph and i'm going
to go with above 10mph because i was so tired after flying for only like just over 30minutes. but those 30 minutes was so much fun. :P . Good times.
Also a great kite, i think only the beamer III could I fly my first time in that high of winds. I was a bit nervous but today was my only chance,
great weather, no plans and it was windy!

Oh yeah... and by the way my lower body is KILLING ME!!! wow what a workout O.O
BeamerBob - 12-3-2008 at 02:32 AM
Congratulations! That is exactly how my first flight went. Except my winds were more tame. Take little breaks while flying to pace yourself. You
won't be as tense in future flights and that will let you fly longer. Get it back out when you can and your confidence will soar. Just don't go out
in 25 mph winds next time. It won't be fun in that stuff.

Oh man i definitely will! yeah... and 25 mph would be a bit scary for me considering i am so sore today hahaha. Yeah congrats on ordering urs lobo!! i
was a bit stand-offish on getting a 3m kite but dude... it's AMAZING! :P i pulled me right along in that wind i think if i would have known how to
jump i could have easily done it at some points where the wind was blowing hahaha. obviously i didn't but yeah, it was a great time
