hi im big lou
i im a kite-aholic..........
i live in the los angels, ca area
im pretty new to this, got bit in april
im heading toward buggying and eventually kiteboarding if i ever learn to swim.
quiver: 1.8 npw5 (foreign made re bridled), 3.4 npw9b (t) self made, not sewn t is for tape, t-foil trainer, a couple of american fighter
kites, and as of this week a pansh 5m blaze
(from dakitez/ dlish89) he good to go im my book two thumbs up
today was my first flight with 5m blaze at max 12 mph winds mostly 7-10 mph.
my initial impressions are wow! had my first scud. im hooked!!!!!! i'm going have a friend sew in some velcro sand out "valve" on trailing edge of
closed cells, there's a few ounces of sand in her i could't quite shake out. she luffed a litte at edges of window and when wind was light.
ok the 5M blaze is too much of a beast for static flying, im going to have to buy a smaller kite or build another, larger npw9b.
