droool :eekdrull:

do you think i could get a carpool with you to fano for next year.

so far my stops are holland / germany, and anything else you guys think i should buggy at.

Dates Bro I need Dates!!!!

We will be in Fano next summer for most of July. The Kite flyiers meeting is in June so if you want to be here for that I won't be able to help. But send me your plans and then we can see.

mmm... beach burn on the kite...

Cool vid! Looks like a blast!

Ya I could have cut that out if the film but we are all human and make mistakes. The kite survived that is all that matters.

Today I put the camera up in the Bridel, the view from above is great I'll post it when I get a chance

check out FASTest Arie in the Tandem.

Way to go Rip! Just what this forum needs! A couple of Dutch guys trying to speak german on there way to Fano.
But the shots are cool. I have been working on videos from the kite all week. Its not that easy. If anyone has Ideas let me know. My biggest problem is getting the camera to not vibrate while crusing down the beach, and how to attach the cable to the lines NOT using tape (you can throw the lines away afterward) but still be able to loop the kite without getting everythig all tangled up. I am using wire ties right now but if I loop the brake lines normally get hung up.

Chris

Have you tried Velcro wraps?
Also how tight can you keep the cable stretched along the lines?
Haven't put a cam up yet so those are just idiot ideas.

I've thought of velcro but Im worried about it pulling some of the small threads out of the lines. I have read that people have had problems like this with bridle lines with Reactor. In the bridle itself I use electrical tape, wire ties would be a desaster, but the tape does leave a sticky film in the bridle. I also had the idea to shrink wrap the cable to a set of lines but I think the heat that i need to get the wrap to shrink would be enough to damage the lines, and I would not be able to use the lines for anything else.

Today the weather is looking good so I'm off to the beach to try some new Ideas.

Chris

Nice one! Awesome beach :megan:
