Girls can't fly kites?
Bold statement for Peter Lynn to make but it's funny how he's come to this conclusion....I should tell the wife we've found a cure for her 
Thought you'd all enjoy this. As a bonus it's a great knot reference.

What this really means is:
Males using a harness will slim the waist and thereby reduce sexual dimorphism...
But males using handles will soon have arm-length resembling the SilverbacS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s.

I think my girl friend and the woman bought a 4m Reflex from me this weekend would have Peter eating his words. I have only seen one person pick up a
power kite and catch on so fast, ( he was an ex-RAF fighter pilot). My bet is that Dusty will have Marie in the buggy by next weekend and having a
blast.
Marie had a go with my 7m Reflex on Sunday and it looked like watching someone fall in love. Monday she had started her quiver.
Picture of a happy kiter after her first flight with her new kite.
Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?
