Quiver complete (for now)

Well, isn't this a grand feeling? I never thought I'd get to this point but I'm super happy to say my quiver is complete and ready for the skills to catch up to it now. As exciting as it is to be getting boxes full of ripstop in the mail I'm even happier to have this "satisfied" feeling. Thanks to PKF's for-sale section, a couple good kite stores, a bit of eBay and a whole lot of waiting & watching. And to think, it all started with a once-deemed-piece-of-junk SportAir 3m....

Time to fly! Next task - quiver refinements :lol:

It's a good feeling isn't it !

The full quiver is what encouraged me to go for the Nasa wing + C-quad.

Enjoy the ride !!!! :thumbup:

Congrats my friend and what a sweet quiver it is!! I like how most your kites are totally different in who made them :P

The "multinational quiver" was part plan, part accident. I figured I'd get my hands on everything I could so when it came time to refine by brand (yes, I said "when") I'd know what I was into. I know I'll have a Flysurfer - one day. As for the rest of them (U Turn, JoJo, Mac etc.) maybe I'll get the opportunity to try them all before I start honing in.

:lol:I remember saying that about six months ago after getting my blade. Then I started on the surf kites... now that i got those pretty well secure I'm lookin at boards... then it'll probably be a buggy... ah crud, I'll never have any damn cash anymore!!! somehow i gotta fit in the smaller rage kites, also. it never ends. by the time i get all this stuff together, they'll just have more, newer, better equipment!

yeah, don't forget that you wear kites out and the mfrs. keep coming out with better and different kites. Having a complete quiver is like having your laundry done.

strange how we come to this.
did you put that phantom in the sun?

My quiver will never be complete. I MUST HAVE THEM ALL. :evil:
(or one of each, at the very least :frog: )

Full quiver? what's that? :puzzled: I thought you had to stop when the room was full....

Unpacked the Phantom last week but she wouldn't take to the skies. (Not enough wind.) I think there will be plenty of exorcism done on that thing before I really give her a run. It's a sordid life that thing must have lived for sure ; )
