so i did'nt finish this. the rest of the trip was sweet. kited everyday. the worst day i still got out for like 2.5 hours. there was about 1.5 hours on my new twin and my 14m and the other hour was on my new skim.

the last day i was there was insane. wind started off at 30-35 knots and waves started off at 6-8 feet. mid way on an 8 kilometer downwinder, the wind pickedup to 40-45 and the waves jacked upto 12-15 feet. so overpowerd on a six nano (thanks again jim) and my 127. i ended getting wor… Continue

Cheers, Doug

At 8:38am on April 9, 2009, Doug said…: Hey Matt, was that your ad I saw on the Chicken Loop for Thrusters? If so, I am looking for a kite, kind of a one kite quiver for a friend of mine who is just starting out. He only weighs about 145 lbs, so he doesn't need anything big. He is trying to learn on an 8m c-kite that I sold him, but the kite sucks so I am looking for something in the 8 to 10m range that would work for him to learn on. I am looking for something stable and forgiving and would work for a lightweight in 10 to 20 knots of wind. Are your kites still for sale, and would they work in this application? Let me know. Cheers. Doug.

I figured it out and now I'm on. Cool to be on the site and see some of my pics already up.

At 8:37am on May 17, 2008, matt said…: cool man. i'm glad i could help. if you can see the bladder wher the deflate valve should be then you nee to but something in the leading edge to cover the hole. if the baldder is exposed there's a good chance it'll pop.
are you going to lp today? i'll be there by 11. if you want you can try my 2008 9m nano.
