New kite curse


My 11m Nasca 2 arrived yesterday. Wind speed was 3 knots,for next three days a Strong Wind Warning (15 -25 knots) has been issued. Looks like good flying, but not for my new kite. The new kite curse is working.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

That's a curse that can work in your favor though. Just buy a big kite to have good winds. I can live with that.

Wind warning was BS for today. Edward and I sat in the sun waiting wind and it was not in vain. After buggering about flying static or trying to buggy in two knots, mid afternoon brought magic south. F ing awesome, can't wait to try on Sunset.

Should have some video soon.
Sorry BladeRunner, can't let you try it. It will just make you want one.

I plan on purchasing something in the 8m range for my low wind engine in the next month, so I have every expectation that once I receive it, the winds will start nuking.

a little video from yesterday. The wind is right at the bottom of the kites wind range. You will notice the kite back stalling whenI pull the bar too far in. No back stalling today in 12-14 knots.
So far I really like this kite and I am not usually a big fan of depower.

Anyone coming out tomorrow?

I like the color scheme scuds,... But for some reason it reminds me of something...

Just kidding dude,... Looks good, and looks like it flies like a dream,... Probably the skilled pilot though, eh!

I see what you were saying about the difference in shape from the AlaSCa .

Pity the winds were so strong and squirrely today. It's looking good and South tomorrow ! :bouncing::bouncy::bouncing:

Looks like the wind at Vanier was all over the map today as well.
