Well we had beautiful weather today with some really light winds so I wanted to get out and fly a little.

No dice :( Not enough wind for a 3m. So this is where the awww crap comes in. I want to pick up another kite for some low wind days. Ive been in this hobby what, 2 weeks now and am already looking for more....

Jason,
It never ends and I feel for you as it was the same for me only with a 10m kite... just not really enough wind.... :no:

yeah, it's only downhill from here - ;)

At first you might think, oh, one kite, that wasn't too expensive, but then you'll want different kites for different conditions, start thinking if a depowerable kite will work better,,,, Man, I need a buggy or board....and then...maybe I should try the water...get ready for some major coinage!

....but, boy is this kiting thing fun!!!

i'm at the depowerable vs bigger fixed bridle vs board stage...

not only is it downhill, it's exponential, the more skills i get the more possibilities bubbling in the kite lust potion pot!

Thank god my credit card is already maxed out from losing my job a few months back...lol. I guess thats a good way to look at it.

This is me also. I want another kite and can't fly the one I just got. No wind and 3.5 hours from the coast.
Every single day the weather channel say's 5 to 10mph with not even a leaf shaking on the trees.

Maybe 500' line's on some kind of reel would help find it. LOL.
