Kite sking with my new to me Reactor

Well, the wind gods where good to me & I was able to try my Reactor out.
Winds where a little lite, but for my first session out this winter it was good for me.(5-8mph)

thanks again thanson2001ok (Todd)

Looks like a great time. I'd really like to do some snow kiting, but my wife is cold natured and my kids are too small to enjoy a winter vacation. For now, I'll have to use vehicles that either roll on the snowless ground or plane on the unfrozen water.

Keep up the good work and stay safe. It's really good that you had low winds on the first day you snow kited in a while. It's nice to have a low wind session to get back in the groove of whatever you are doing.

So far I like it.I bought it to replace my Blaze which was my first kite.Seemed to handle the occasional light gusts that would jump at ya now & than.Hopefully I will be getting out again this weekend & if there's light winds will give it a go again & report back.
I have to thank Mary,my girl friend for those fantastic pics.
