tried my buddys blaze 10m-then my flysurfer speed 12.5--pretty weird after only flying fb for a year.......the load is now shifted from the arms back and shoulders, to the waist and legs--have to get used to that--also,had to resist temptation to pull in bar while launching....all in all a good experience!! now its time to get some practice in and LOTS of it-- i can see why everyone loves their depowers--its def a different skill set, though.........

Haha, glad you enjoyed it Don! We definitely need to fly again soon. Post those pics that you took if you can. Oh and btw, that Flysurfer of yours is actually a 2003 Psycho, so I lied to you inadvertently. Oops.

ok,it IS a psycho!!thats cool!!yeah,i'll post those pics soon-i had a great time erik!! we'll do it again soon!! :singing:

After many months of trying to get the GF to try her harness and my depower (10m AlaSCa), she finally did it. She immediately said "More wind, I want more wind." I was left with a sinking feeling that I was not going to be flying my kite anytime soon. This what happened when I got her to try my buggy, she used mine, I borrowed. I asked if we were going to need another depower for her; her reply, "I thought you gave the AlaSCa to me for my birthday." So much for that kite. I guess my next video will be "Dusty Does De-Power".
Having a girl friend who kites is not always as good as you might think. You have no problem getting to go fly, but half your gear is suddenly inaccessible.

Ha! At least she's actually interested and you have someone to fly with. I need to find a girl that is as obsessed with theses kites as I am!

You will never find one; you need to find a girl you like and give her the obsession. Start with a small kite on a day when it is not going to give her a face plant and work up from there.
