"Holding it down, since 20 knots!"
Sooooo... What are the exact requirements for this? 19m Synergy, 20 kts+ wind, standard setup, toes on the ground with NO tether/help from a friend?
:D
Tiscali wind range calc says I'll be good up to 8 knots.
HA!
:wee:
We'll see about that :roll:

Yup, 19m arc (you'd get in with an 18m Phantom!) and riding with it ... tether and friends are cheating
Note - this is NOT an endorsement to go out and get hurt!!! Rather, a fattie joke
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

that's it? Guess I'll join the club! I've flow my v19 in 25, can't say i'd do it again, it was more drag than fly. An in fact when I was landing the
saftey failed, so that was fun. I landed the kite unhooked. I think what was crazier that was the v13 in 35+. Being jacked is really no fun. (I'm a
200# anchor)

BeamerBob, may I borrow your 19m Venom? :D Just mail it over, I'll drop it back off when I eventually land in your yard. But then I might need another
big kite for the trip home.

Yes it is. It needs a laundry list of repairs. It's still en-route to CA, so I haven't seen it yet.
