hi im big lou

i im a kite-aholic..........

i live in the los angels, ca area

im pretty new to this, got bit in april

im heading toward buggying and eventually kiteboarding if i ever learn to swim.

quiver: 1.8 npw5 (foreign made re bridled), 3.4 npw9b (t) self made, not sewn t is for tape, t-foil trainer, a couple of american fighter kites, and as of this week a pansh 5m blaze
(from dakitez/ dlish89) he good to go im my book two thumbs up

today was my first flight with 5m blaze at max 12 mph winds mostly 7-10 mph.

my initial impressions are wow! had my first scud. im hooked!!!!!! i'm going have a friend sew in some velcro sand out "valve" on trailing edge of closed cells, there's a few ounces of sand in her i could't quite shake out. she luffed a litte at edges of window and when wind was light.

ok the 5M blaze is too much of a beast for static flying, im going to have to buy a smaller kite or build another, larger npw9b.

Yes welcome! And see you know your hooked when you just got a kite and now you already want another. It seems like it never ends. Is it time to go to Nabx yet? I miss the hell out of that place!!
