Only 6 at the moment. Now, how many kites have I owned? Well, a few more than that! :bouncy:

Not up to your numbers tho!

There's a reason why a number of users here don't list their kites in their sig, it'd take up pages!

my wife figured out a long time ago I was lying when I said they are demo's not mine.
Me and the grand sons counted up to 79 and forgot the bin in the back of the truck(maybe 12 more), and ran in the house to tell Grandma about all the kites Grampa has. Busted.
I HAVE NONE, THEY ARE ALL DEMO'S.:spin:

Are we counting power kites only or all the sport kites, SLKs, etc.?

I'll submitt mine for power kites and that = 10.

If we are talking about all the kites in general in our house, I think my total is closer to 40.

Well my personal kites are the Phantoms and a few foil kites that are my kids!

Conrad, get yourself a little trailer to keep them in, pull that behind one car! You can make a rack for the trailer to hold your buggy as well! Angus has a nice little set up he pulls, doesn't take up much space! Maybe he will post up a pic, I know it is on PKF somewhere, I would not even guess where to begin!

Amusingly enough, I only have 3 power kites right now. I've been peeling back to the basics of what I use the most for awhile. Had almost 10 at one point, but worked my way down to only the ones I ACTUALLY ride. Painful process, honestly. But the kites deserved to be owned by people who would actually fly them, and not just stare at them lovingly.
