Come up to Tugg Hill with us? Bring yer "snow-buggy"? :saint:

Hey Ragden
When are you going to Tugg Hill I would like to join if I can.

All the snow melted up here in CT, wishing for snow and wind on my vacation!!!

If Bob says they have snow, we will be heading out Thursday night (after I get home from work) and coming home Sunday. I would offer you a ride, but if you are already in CT, then that is a bit out of my way...

Anyone available for kiting tomorow? Please!

I am willing to meet you out there. Just need to know where to stay and book a room.

Anyone willing to take out an arc today and show me how its done?

Confirming where we are staying this coming weekend. I'll post when I know.
Sorry Power, cant make it out today... Winds look crazy though. I'd watch out for those 45mph gusts...

How bout a 6m charger? O wait only bladerunner getting one:singing:

Problem with a kite that small is that the general wind speeds were 25-30 with gusts up to 45. In 25-30 you wouldnt have much power with a 6m. Then the gust would hit and you would be fine. After it dies back down to 30, you'll be underpowered pretty badly...

I know, that's why I want a one kite quiver. Well I guess that's not why, but I want a one kite quiver.

I want a cookie, guess which one is more likely to happen? :D

There are kites with big ranges, but I dont think you'll ever find a single kite that you can use in ALL conditions you fly in... You'll always need a couple kites...

cookie or Frenzy's, which one is more likly to happen first?

...wait, manta now. very nice Maven.

The cookies will happen first, but the kites should happen very soon. There were issues (okay, more issues) with getting the 11m Frenzy, so it became a 12m Manta :D.

Nice Maven that should be fun!!

I’m sure they are well worth the wait…I can’t wait to see them up either. That’s if I can ever get out again and not have the police intervene. I’m curious to know how the Frenzy does in the gust and how much it luffs. You’ll have to write a review comparing the Manta to the Frenzy.

Before I flipped my lid and grabbed a couple Outlaws, I looked at the Mantas and Frenzies. I couldnt figure out which I would have wanted. It will be neat to see them in the air...

I think you two could post a great write up comparing the Frenzy 7 to the Outlaw 8 and the Manta to the Outlaw 12 being able to fly them side by side. I would love to read that one.

It's tossed for me too...Frenzy, Outlaw, Montana or go closed cell with the Neo II or a flysurfer (flysurfer is probably out of the question due to cost). Not sure how well the PL work in this area with the light and shifty winds...plus the time and effort it takes to fill.

Actually, I think the Manta and the Outlaw are pretty close in cost.

Flysurfer closed cell, such as a Speed 3 12m.

That one is definitely more expensive :D.

So you exchanged the frenzy with a manta? Or you're getting 3 kites?

They're sending me a 12m Manta instead of the 11m Frenzy due to "issues". I'm still only getting two kites.

Can't wait to see how you like them and how they handle in our wonderful inland conditions
