I just want everybody on PKF to know...
That I love all of you guys and girls. This forum is so incredible. I'm proud of the good advice and good traders on here. You don't really hear about
people taking advantage of each other on here. There's all of these tragic stories about people being screwed over in the news, but not on pkf. Thanks
everyone for being so great. May the wind find you

credit for from this group. In fact, everything I know has been either self taught or leaned on here!
Kudos to you all and as Kent would say.......Happy Winds!!!!!

I hate to repeat others. But I owe most all I know about powerkites and buggying to the good folks here on PKF. A full list of people that have helped
would be insane. So if I have had contact with you, you have helped out.
Thanks you all, Dave

Ditto, I had nobody to fly with for several yrs. And the PKF has been a great help and influence. That is why I lurk here still,kind of "paying it
forward". Plus I have met many of the folks here and they are GREAT people! and some are even very dear friends now. 
THANKS BOB!!!!!!! :wee:

Also, nobody is going to jump on you cos of what you fly  if the internet is a
big social place, then PKF is like an afternoon sitting in the sun at the local pub ... and it would appear from the state of my bank account that
I've been buying the rounds all day :shocked2:

I've likened pkf to the old country stores of my childhood where the men would gather when it was raining or after dinner to talk about whatever with
good friends. Our friends here are from all over this continent and 2 or 3 others as well. I've learned a ton on here from you guys along with the
fliers I've been fortunate enough to fly beside. PKF is a part of my kiting life for sure.

it is a great collective.
An ultra small niche sport needs a fundamental centering portal like this.
basic info , access to gear without being ripped off, ideas, problems, experience, fears, concerns, limits and a mountain of fun.
nice folks make it nice.

phreerider, i'm glad you said fear. The guy who got me started into kiting was only 29 and he was so afraid of riding on anything, bug, board, or
water. He told me that I should never ride on anything because it was too dangerous, and I especially shouldn't try to jump. I'm so glad I found
this forum to give me the real advice to get started

right on fly.
fear, a primitive reflex which will keep you alive.
but don't let it keep you from living.
calculated risk everytime! despite your teeth rattling and skin crawling it washes away into real phreedom.
