I'm 31 and been flying foils for about 3 months. I was at the beach flying my stunt kite and saw a guy scudding across the beach. I said I need one of those. Little did I know that i needed more than one. :smilegrin:

I guess I'm old as the damn hills. I was using traction kites to pull high speed sailboats around Weymouth Harbor (UK) before most of you guys were born--Excepting Jose, Corey; some others!

Started in 1978; Traction kites, from 21 sq meters (1978) to 420 sq meters (2004). Still looking for new thrills.

Dave



In my kite bag:
SkyTiger Hi40
Lil Devil 3.3
Jordan Antelope, 28 meter
OutLeader, 40 meter
OutLeader 92 meter
OutLeader 280 meter

Buggies:
PL \"old skool\" long axle, long rail desert special.
Custom Alberto Soria crab buggy with bigfoot wheels and tires
\'76 GMC half-ton, with 8\" cross-bed mount and twin 100 amp flying winches. --40 kts under kite power alone; el Mirage, 2001!
