If I'm patting myself on the head.
If you see me doing this I am not hitting myself for being overpowered again ! I means I am coming in well powered and I need you to :
CATCH MY KITE !!!!!!!!!!
This is a common signal on the watter and in our local park. I notice every year at NABX that this important signal isn't undertood by many who fly on
land.
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.

You know, at SOBB 09, that became the signal for "Run! Run for your life!"
I would not recomend catching Ken's kite!
He likes to use you as a biodegradable kite stake!

Simpler than going to safety. Leaves safety as an option. The Dry lake is REAL hard on kites. Water is wet....
TARGET PRACTICE !!! :evil:

This signal is mainly used for people riding depowerables such as the PL Twinskins or LEI's. Catching the kite is much easier on the kites than
dumping them to the safety and letting them bang around on the ground. For normal fixed bridle or bridled depowerable kites catching is normally not
necessary.

This whole time I thought you were doing that to remind people to wear their helmets .... so they don't end up like you.
Oh and by the way if anyone sees me rubbing my belly that just means I'm hungry :P

I'll catch your kite.
With a good wind forecast, what kite are you even going to fly? I still have my M5, I'm sure that'll make an appearance... hopefully the v13 or p10
will be workable.
VIDEO
After watching that I want to still under an umbrella on the beach, have a drink with an umbrella in it, and take a nap!
But before my nap we need to organize a mass kite skate out-and-back, and by out and back I mean to the highway and back.

My big wind weapons will be : 10m Syn, Sarc460 and trusty 2.5profoil. With the Tarc thrown up until it breaks . :evil:
15m Syn is also being trucked down.
The Pulse or Phantom ( for low wind ) may become stow aways?
I think I'm covered and you are always welcome to them !
:bigok:
Let the Coyotes HOwwwwwl
Oh, and I'll be ready for a Rag Fappin' Race if one happens to break out ! :wee:
