Hi Newbie, welcome to one of the best kite forums on the planet.

You are in the right place for info, go to this site and scope out the tutorials.

www.coastalwindsports.com

wow thank you so much, i was actually embarrassed to ask for help lol..i felt super dumb for a second looking at all these lines. im a little confused on the two metal bars i hold in my hand. it has two sides to it , a blue and a red side (the red side with the red rope has a loop at the back and the a red line)... i dont understand what to connect with what since its not color coded

Don't feel too bad, it's not all self explanatory. The reason that Pansh's are so... inexpensive is because they leave out important things like the manual. The tutorials that Angus has on Coastal Wind Sports are a great way to learn the basics. This forum is another great tool for finding out what you don't know. Don't be afraid to ask questions, we were all new once. Welcome to the forum.

look here..

First thig is what size kite did you get as your first kite? The pansh can be known for lots of lift and not alot of carry. And I found out that they will go from gentle to real mean quick. But then I have the Pansh Ace5m not a fun kite!!

The Legend is not known for lift roc. It's mostly the Ace that can be a nasty little beasty.

Just got off the phone with the guy and it sounds he is on the way to getting it sorted. Pansh didn't help with any color-coding, it seems but it is starting to click...

angus your such a help over the phone, i think i almost got it

wow i didnt even fly the kite yet but this untangling crap and figuring out what goes with what took the wind out of me

It will get easier with time, welcome to the forum!

Hey Newbie where are you located? Some times finding a fellow addict to show you the basics is the best way to start. And just in case you think your ammune to the addiction, Your not!!
Hi my name is Dave, I'm an addict

Welcome! To the sport and the forum and ... hide your wallet from yourself

thanks everyone

im going to fly my kite tomorrow i think after my meeting at work

Welcome newbie, never be afraid to ask questions! There is a ton of information on this forum, not to mention a lot of guys and gals alike that are willing to help when asked. Angus is a prime example of how helpful this forum can be!

Enjoy this sport, once you get it, you won't be able to let go!

Do you understand that we fly different sized kites in different winds? That a 3m kite is about the best size to get started . What size kite did you buy?

Be sure and go through the stuff on Angus's site. Understand to the wind window and how to hold the handles.

Have fun and be careful. We mostly all wear helmets !

get and use safety gear . At a minimum of skate helmet and knee/elbow pads. You WILL need them sooner or later. (probably sooner)And that legend is NOT a jumping kite. I mean you can ,but it was meant for beginner buggy/ board traction (low lift) . However if it is big enough ,it can allow some degree of float. But the bigger the kite the lower the max. wind speed for it will become. What size legend do you have? Get good w/ the kite BEFORE you start jumping,it is critical that you know by muscle memory what to do and what not to do. welcome to the PKF!

Have fun , be safe WG

I would get confused even when the kites came with instructions.
Hang in there, it works out and before long you will look back and laugh.
Be careful, fly safe.

wow it looked easier in the videos... without even flying this damn thing, its giving me a headache.

i must of spent 3 hours since yesterday and today (when i just tried to launch it) untangling it...

im really considering going up to georgia to have angus show me how

Now that is a good reason for a road trip.:singing:

Outstanding reason for a road trip and he'll set you straight to be sure. You might end up really digging Jekyll Island as I did as well. It's so cool at that place they film X-Men movies there...

im wondering how much the tolls will cost me.

I was considering the trip from PA until Mr. Campbell told me the shipwreck didn't have dead pirates or cannonballs.

That would have made it worth while for the nine year old.

No tolls - just gas. Keep going on I-95 until exit 29 in GA, take a right, go 5 miles, take another right, go 6 miles- boom; you're there.

You don't know what's under the sand! It's just the top of the mast sticking out.
