Something that I'm missing out on is why when I look at pic's I see a lot of P.L. arcs and such out but when I here reports from locals it's all 6's
and 3's ???
Is is just that we seem to fly smaller fixed bridle around here and others had larger depower kites ?

i flew my 11, my 9, and my 6 phantom. I want a 7scorpion, but of course they dont' ship them.
Tonight we could have used anything tiny, it was blowing like stink onshore at Ocean Beach.
Elton, the mayor of Ocean Beach was the lone buggier.

Out of the 9 days I buggied at the pre-event and Ivanpah, I used my 12m phantom (like a 4-5 meter foil) every day except 2 (Friday at Ivanpah, no
wind, and Saturday where the 9m phantom was great; 51mph in a tandem).
Overall, kind of a light wind event.

I saw a lot of PL Arcs out there, dunno what sizes they were using. I just used the 3.5m a lot since I'm a smaller than most. : ) One of the days I
was on my 6.5m the whole time.
As for flying small kites locally ... 90% of the time i'm on my 7.8m Butan, unless its huge winds. Not to mention we dont have much space so screaming
down a small park overpowered really could be dangerous.
time to move to cali or lv.
