Thanks for the concern WELDNGOD, luckily I flew it in probably the worst conditions (lumpy inland gusty and strong wind that changed direction every 30 mins) and didn't die so its all up hill from here. At least I learned how to use the manual break properly(a lot).

I live in the uk so meds are free :P

And I'm not as stupid as I sound, I have had experience with other kites before and have done a lot of research.

I just wanted to seem all noobish yet macho, I think It worked out great :lol:
