I knew how big this kite was but seeing it in person now made it just a little larger than I thought f0rgiv3n - 22-7-2008 at 09:18 AM
Dude... Jason that's HILARIOUS! I took the same pic with my ace when I got it!! :D And my reaction was "Wow... that's a lot bigger than i had
expected!" It's a beauty... Cheers my friend, we've got the same kite quiver so far PHREERIDER - 22-7-2008 at 09:19 AM
ready for take off?_____ - 22-7-2008 at 09:23 AM
If we had wind and it wasn't 100 deg. out here I wouldn't be online...lol.DAKITEZ - 22-7-2008 at 10:21 AM
You think it looks big now ... wait till your holding the handles getting ready to launch in 15-20mph. :o_____ - 22-7-2008 at 03:52 PM
Well I got her out today but wind was maybe 5-8 gusting 10-12. I had a blast. In those winds the lift is easy to deal with. I was trying to make it
lift to see how bad it would be, and managed about four 2-3' jumps in. Nothing fancy just a few pendulum jumps.kiteNH - 22-7-2008 at 04:10 PM
Its amazing how much bigger they look inside compared to outside or up in the air. I live in a tiny apartment and had to hang my 8m out to dry after
some snowkiting this winter. I hung it from the ceiling and it literally went wall to wall.........truth is I really didn't want to take it down once
it was dry. It just looked so beautiful and magnificent up there.pyro22487 - 25-7-2008 at 04:51 PM
anyone know of a place to hang up a 14 meter to dry. i tried unrolling it in my house once but that didnt work out very wellNPWfever - 25-7-2008 at 05:00 PM

______ nice throwrug!_____ - 25-7-2008 at 09:29 PM
One that I will never clean my feet on WELDNGOD - 25-7-2008 at 09:42 PM
yeah, but it could wipe the face off your smile:o ALWAYS remember that.macboy - 25-7-2008 at 10:58 PM
I've got a line - much like a clothesline that goes diagonally across our basement, through doors as required. When it's in use, obviously there's a
kite hanging from it but when it's not, some simple screws set in the roof hold the line up, out of the way.pyro22487 - 27-7-2008 at 01:19 AM
tree in the back yard that may work and yes it can will and has wiped the smile off my face. but nothing serious. sorry if itseems i hijacked the
thread.WELDNGOD - 27-7-2008 at 05:16 AM
go lowes and get a 50 ft. retractable clothesline. They are great, when not in use it retracts into a little plastic case hanging on wall,
fence,pole,tree whatever. and they are cheap too.Taper123 - 12-8-2008 at 04:53 PM
I've got single line kites that won't fit in my living room
But it's always impressive the first time you get a bigger power kite and spread it out. Have fun with it!dylanj423 - 13-8-2008 at 01:39 PM
Unless I am just dying after a session, I always let the kite dry before I pack it up... Or unless I packed quickly because of the rain. I read on a
thread here that it takes a while for anything bad to happen from water in your kite or lines. I always make it a point to take my kites to the park,
roll them out, rinse them with some fresh water, and then fly them 'till they're dry.
I use one of those gardening/ herbicide things that you pump up and spray. Not a lot of power, but a stream of fresh water wherever I want it.
