lets hope so.

Did you get the e mail I sent you?

got it I will get back to you right quick. I'm looking for a pic I want to send you. .... kites don't leave china till the 14th.

Dude that was sick!!!:tumble: I think thats the baddest bug made! At least it is the coolest one I have ever seen.

I went to the local kitesurf/windsurf shop to get my harness.

Another option some people like is the climbing harness, The harness is a bit cheaper, but you've got to go with a pulley block and a quick release.

check here to see the bug sthrasher is talking about. I agree the baddest buggy I've seen. http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=4833

good news this morning kites are on the way. They should be here just in time for my trip to the beach next weekend.:singing::singing::singing:

I've been looking at the climbing harnesses. Please correct me if I'm wrong if I get a climbing harness then I also need to get a pulley system.

I dont think so.

all the climbing harnesses I have seen online don't have any kind of pulley. am i looking at the wrong stuff?

Can someone please help with that Question? I don't have the answers. Thanks.

I thought a traction freak would know everything

C'mon now I am a traction freak because I have alot of Questions and And love to create new posts. And I reply to almost everything. I am still pretty new to kiting I have been flying for only two years.So I am far from giving profesional advise. But here we go why do you need a pulley system? I belive pullys are used for de-power kites or crossovers for stability. I could be wrong I dont know to much about harnesses but I dont know what use it would be being straped into a pully or how that would even work. Maybe on a bar but not handles. Again I am not sure. But I am curious to see what is said.

Climbing harnesses will only have a loop to anchor stuff to, kite harnesses have a hook or roller to put the strop on. So what you do is make yourself a completely captive system.

You need a good quality pulley, ideally one that will swing apart to allow easy instalation on a strop, a shackle of some sort and a quick release. I like the Wichardt quick releases. The pulley will keep from eating a strop. I can burn one an hour without the pulley, with a pulley I get a strop to last close to a month. The shackle goes between the QR and the pulley, then the QR acts as a safety if you need to ditch the kite in a hurry. A completely captive system is a major asset when you start jumping big, no chance of the strop falling off the pulley/hook,

Thats what i'm talking about!! Kite traction know it all!! See dlish I told you Pablo would hook us up. Thanks Pablo you are always quick to help on this forum. Thanks for your time and your expert advise!

Hey all,

There was some discussion about this on another thread a while back. You can check out http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=3935#pid239...

There are a couple pics posted there with climbing harness setups.

Also, if you search for Wichard on the PKF you can find a few discussions about the quick release, pulleys, carabiners, and the like.

I haven't had much time to fly recently, but my climbing harness setup has worked well for me for the past few months while flying static. Now if I could just find some time to get that Rockville bug out for a test drive!!!
