7 that I bought "on purpose" and 2 other older tubies. I bought both tubies off Craigslist before I had lessons and never got the stones to fly them... but they're waiting for me... still hope to get out on them one day.

2007 Yarga 13m, and a 2006 Vegas 12m


BTW- anyone notice that NOBODY reports owning 9 kites? Is it just to tempting to sit that close to double digits and not pull the trigger :yes:



We understand all that is not mathematics through the world, but we understand the world through mathematics

10m and 14m Griffin Argonaut (LEI - kiteboarding)
7m HQ Montana V

Kelci helped buy most of them. About half of the stunt kites are hers plus the revs. Also, it took 25 years to aquire all of those kites.

My mental count says beyond 20, but only 8 ride in the car regularly. 6 of those are fully traction. I don't fly much beyond traction.



I fly: Charger II 6.5m * Charger II 8m * Charger II 10m * Scorpion 10 (for sale) * Phantom II 12m * F-Arc 1200 * Venom 13m

I ride: Peter Lynn XR+ on Midis * Flexifoil Midi/Barrow * Peter Lynn Comp on Barrows * Peter Lynn XR+ (needs a fork)

I build: Custom bars for buggy pilots
