You beat me to it. Antarctica has wind almost all the time. Its a tad cold most of the time though. Wonder if ripstop will shatter at 70 below?
I have a new Synergy in the quiver and nothing for days unless it comes with a thunderstorm.

It's been only frustrating doldrums here too.
But I just got in my spanking new Access I 6m this afternoon. I figured I'd only be opening it to keep re-reading the printed material for a few days.
As luck would have it, a thunderstorm was slowing moving in, so I finally got some decent, consistent winds for a maiden voyage. ...BLISS... (short
lived as it be). I never thought I'd look forward so much to rain!

It's a bad sign when gnats are buzzing around you while you are setting up. They don't like wind.

That was a hot no wind day. The weather station there was reporting some wind but we didn't see it after driving down there.
I wonder what people think as they drive by and see a person sitting in the middle of a hot field. LOL
Have to give her credit, she was down there for awhile before I took her a chair and then stayed a bit longer just sitting there, ahahahah. It's
funny because you know all the things they are saying to themselves.
I did get it to fly later, could barly feel a breeze, I'll try and upload that.

Great video! The wind conditions here on the East sideare the same. And as always. You head out to your spot when there is supposed to be good wind,
there is, and you set up, and then it goes away. There is a small cold front in our near future!:smug:

OK, now I know why I don’t upload many videos, takes so freaking long….
Anyway, I’m no movie maker but here is the kite in what I think was 3mph then dropped
to -2mph LOL, so it seemed with all the added help to keep it flying.
Beware, kind of boring,, but at least you can listen to the all time number 1 song. ;-);-)

Very nice...a power kite vid w/o a Rap or Thrash soundtrack! 
You have a nicer touch on your 5m Beamer than I ever managed on mine (mine's more like a Tug O' War).
No wind? Always bring along some R/C planes, Aerobies or Boomerangs. As soon as you pack the kites and get these out...the wind always flares up! |

Winds at the oregon coast are reasonable, but light to moderate... which I prefer so I can use a bigger kite. I'll take a bigger kite in lighter
winds any day. But it's been dead by pdx (george excluded).
But I'm bummed cause I just lost an auction for a kite I've been eyeing But with
this winds calm I won't need a kite so small anyway I'm always weary of buying
kite son ebay, have had great luck twice to far. If anyone has an 8.5m Ion I'm in the market!
