Take a walk on the bridled side
Thought now is good as ever to announce that I have left Peter Lynn and I am joining HQ powerkites. Been testing the matrixx and Montana 7 the last
week an I'm loving the massive lift and hangtime. Will get kite reviews up soon. Thanks to Chris from HQ for hooking me up! I love flying these little
paragliders around LOL.
I've had a great year so far but I simply decided to make some changes. The depower foils are a big step for bigger air 
A big thanks to everybody at Peter Lynn for helping me get started

Way to go Adam, I am sure that you bond quickly with your new kites and take them to new heights. You are a super ambassador for kiting, keep up the
great work.
I have to tell you that I did not see this coming. Chris you really scored big and have a great asset on your team now.

Adam is one of the best ambassadors for kites I have ever met. The ultimate team rider, HQ is stoked to be riding with him. Ultimately, it doesn't
matter what he files. Adam represents the sport as well as anyone. Thanks Adam. The sky's the limit!

Adam is one of the most down to earth (ironic?) guys I've ever met. Way to go bud, what you are doing for power kiting in the USA is nothing short of
remarkable.

Nice job Adam!!!! It must be hard to keep up with only one brand when there are so many out there to pick from. You showed a love for arcs ever since
your first few posts on this forum, never thought you'd quit them . Suppose changing things up will only make you a more rounded kiter and ambassador
to the sport. Good on ya!!!!!!:wee:
