It arrived fed ex 3 pm, spent the next hour un plastic bagging everything and setting up the bar.... Out to the beach, wind 13 kts... A little light for a 12, but too excited, its gonna fly..

Set it up on the beach, wind switched 120 degrees in the process.. It filled much easier than my 19.

Tug on the center line, it takes shape and up it goes... Man this baby turns ! ! ! A few power dives, some good long scuds and no chickenloop failures......

Let it autozenith, but it kept falling to the side my safety is on... I unhooked it and it straightened out... I have another one that is a little longer, ill give that a try... Granted I was at the absolute bottom of the windrange......

Internal straps were all pulled in about 2", so I left them there.. Vpc was on the middle knots....

Suggestions on what I want my settings for about 18 kts?????
I will use my 19 up to that point...

Having only 4 arc sessions under my belt let me say I absolutely love them... So easy to self launch and land !!!!

What a great day here in Port A, Clean chest high surf in the morn, and kite flying in the afternoon.......
Hopefully I'll get it out on the water Tuesday.....

Anyone have a Syn 15 for sale ??????????
Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THANK YOU DINO, GREAT KITE AT A GREAT PRICE

Not that I'd had a ton of arc experience, but if the kite is off trimm I've noticed that it will stall out to the side. So either more internal strap or trim the depower strap so that it autpzenith's above you ans stays there. If the saftey is hookde to the ring and there is any slack it should pull the kite to the side. I would think if the saftey was at fault then the kite would just move to a side but keep stearing in that direction and either crash or loop

I bet the real arc flyers are out flying today

Sounds like a great day at the beach. We worked on our mooring placements all day!:ticking: But next week we will have the boats in the river and having family fun.
