Another stupid kite trick

With GP's drying out coming very late, Vancouver kiters have been desperate for some kiting action. The video shows Dirtslide and I passing a kite and a couple of gopros.
DS calls his yellow 3m John Lemon, hence the name of the video.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?
8m speed wings.
Ozone Samurai 3m
Sky Country Reflex 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10m new 6m!

Rhombus Firebee 3m (ret).

Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

Not much conversation involved, other than "Ready?". We talking about something else entirely. Since his accident DS and I have gotten pretty good passing kites back and forth.
Thanks for the compliments on our flying.
