Gusting to 32....Careful brother...rig small and work up...have fun!

I have a stunning lack of depowers, after my friend trashed my Access... it's either PL Twister II 4.1 or nothing! And I've had my a$$ kicked by that kite multiple times :P So much fun!

But then it wouldn't be the nice Cabrinha bag :D actually, the 2011 13 is like 3x bigger than the 2010 16 bag :dunno:
I take the bag to the beach with me and just pack it up into the bag straight away. There's very little theft here; you'd be surprised what people leave lying around on the beach all day that doesn't get swiped!

Mesh bags, hmm? That'd have to be another DIY I bet

Kami you crazy Asian :D

Just go to a sporting goods store or something. I'm sure they have a million of them there. You can put all kinds of $%@# in a mesh bag... equipment, assorted balls of all types, infants, whatever. Not to mention kites... if for some reason you have trouble finding a store with a mesh bag, Google will become your very good friend.

This is Japan, not the US or NZ - why would you want a nasty mesh bag when you can get a Gucci one? If you can Google a Japanese site and read the kanji for me, I'll be thrilled - ta! :P

I'm SURE there is a Japanese store SOMEWHERE that has mesh bags

If not, it's not going to kill your kite to pack them in their bags that they came with. I know you take very good care of your stuff.

I've not ever seen anything like that ... might have to make one ... hmm hardware store has mesh for gardening - wonder if the wife will let me at her sewing machine :o

Bahahaha Kami you crack me up!

It's a mesh bag! These aren't Russian plans for world domination or something :P

Good idea, though. Have a go at making one yourself. I wouldn't know how to sew it, seeing as it's covered in little holes... maybe use a strip of solid cloth at all the seams to make a stronger hold?

Have fun!

You gotta get out of Texas a bit and experience a non-Western country

I've been to Asia. My dad travels there frequently for his job. He goes to Japan quite often; mostly Osaka. Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong are the ones most visited. Also, my best friend's dad was the manager of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters less than two years ago. Are you familiar with Trey Hillman? He lives within walking distance of me, and both his kids go to school with me. :D

I'm not some kind of redneck

Then go shopping here and find me some mesh bags, #@%$#!! It's a different world ... and everything I'm interested in seems to be a niche sport/hobby here ...
"I need some Dyneema"
"Oh just pop down to the hardware store or West Marine"
Nobody can believe there's no such thing or no sailing shop or local wind surf shop and if there IS, then they order all the stuff over the phone from the one big shop in like Osaka or something. :dunno: Think it's bad with sailing kit? Try getting bike parts ...!

Anyway, what is the topic of this thread again?

I feel your frustration, Kami. Imagine trying to find kite supplies/help in the middle of Texas. Let's just say, it's not the most popular sport here in the middle of nowhere.

Er, I believe the topic was about LEIs... but whatever, I don't care anymore. :D This forum is a great cure for boredom.

Seanny
