I think i officially just got my girl hooked on kiting :)

Loves it. She only static flies so far, but she's asking for a board and going to get out on the snow this winter.

I'm trying to convert her, but it could be awhile.

Working on it...actually took her out today and she flew my trainer, and did well, its just a matter of building up some power, and see how she likes it, she wants to watch me first though.

Mines trying her best to get into it, mainly because i'm such an #@%$#! when i have a kite in my hand and i just run straight into the water and dump her :D
She's a windsurfer so it makes her jealous when she doesn't have kit with her, can't wait to be able to ride with her though that will be awesome :wee:
She's got really good control of the kite, just needs to figure out getting up on the board and being a bit less timid of the kite

Doesn't care for it. She has flown my kites and has enjoyed that but its not like she'd ever suggest we go out. She's happy my kids have started flying but is concerned for their safety and mine every time I go out (especially in the winter when I'm on ice).

My wife and I have an arrangement. she will go to the beach with us to fly if I take her chair, umbrella, and the cooler. AND if I don't make her fly kites, she won't make me go to scrapbook weekends with her. She is supportive, but has no desire to hold handles in her hand. I'd like to take her for a tandem ride sometime to see how she likes that.

mine can fly (unless she forget by now) all my duals, Revs, and probably spent time with the Little Devil before i went on a kite hiatus. i believe she could easily transiton into the buggy but she's not the least bit interested in anything 'kite' though, never was:crazy:

Same lack of interest here. She came out with us once last winter to go cross country skiing but (obviously) it was windy so while we had our backs to the wind and were just fine, she FROZE! I'll see if I can get her out again this winter under the wind shelter we picked up this summer but I'm not holding my breath. She's generally supportive and seems to condone anything active. If I were blowing wads of dough on Xboxes, Wiis, car stereos and computer gear she'd be less supportive I know. Any healthy, active exploits she generally encourages.

My wife is more than supportive (pushes me to go out and fly) and flies once in a while and does a good job at it, I'd love to get her out for a tandem bug ride... hopefully down a NABX she'll get that ride... and like it enough to try a solo run...
good luck everyone...

I hear guys say they wish that they could buggy as fast as my SO does. Some ask how it feels to have a GF who buggies better than I do. Last week she was attempting to get air. She did backwards 360 spins before I did them.
It is not all tea and cakes: she gets first pick from the quiver.

Mine likes it. Doesnt love it just likes it. Hope it grows to love :) She flew my beamer but it had too much pull for her. (5'2" 105lbs.)Thats why I bought the Symphony. So she could come out and fly with me. I was out this weekend with a friend of mine while she had to work, she was kinda mad...haha.
