Up In Bham this weekend, swung by Powerzone's to pick up the goods. Looks like he did a nice job depowering my blade 6.6 and also walked out with a SA
1.5 15m .....Couldnt sleep... woke up early and it was pouring.. then it stopped... then 5 minutes later its raining again.. this has been going on
for hours... Gotta love the Pac Northwest!
Soon though... I will get these babies out of the bag and checkout the SA in all its glory.

I feel for ya. Till they start making kites out of gortex flying inbetween rain showers is our way of life.
I was lucky enough to get some fly time in before the rain started down here.

That sucks man! I've flown my 3m trainer in pouring rain one time, just to do it, and it kept filling the cells with water, so it was cool to fly it
back and forth across the window, then dive it, like a bucket would come out. It was HOWLING though, so it was enough to keep it up, even full of
water. I imagine you could fly an inflatable in rain fairly well though.

Well, got to make it out in really light winds, but the SA is awesome.. soo smooth... nice

Rain and or high tides..:ticking:
I did manage to get a few miles today in between the rains. Only then to have the skies clear up very nicely, just in time for high tide :frog:

I hope the new kite curse doesnt hit me. I just ordered a 5.3 speedy and a friend ordered a 6.5 vampire. We should get them Friday and be able to take
them out Saterday morning. I will probably have to wait till Sunday do to overtime at work.

congrats on the silverarrow steve
I know what you mean about the rain. I found a new spot yesterday though that's only 8 miles from port ludlow and it looks like its going to work
great for all the south winds this fall.
btw it works at high tide
