The most fun I have had in a long time!
Well I just got back from my first flight or ride  with my new HQ Beamer IV 3.0m
I must say I did not expect so much from this kite, which i am very happy about :wee:
Winds were about 15-20mph, which is why i was drug all over the field and had maybe a couple 1-2 foot hops. I brought a friend with me and maybe have
a video up soon. I think I'm already addicted to another damn hobby haha.

We call that a "skooch" in Canada......the only difference between a kiter and a dog doing it is the dog will stop and go back and smell the tracks

Not sure if you have red ants where you live. Just be sure you do not land on a nest scuding around. Been there done that.
