Yep, it's definitely a nice kite :) Shipped it today to ya.

Combats will be in North America within the next couple weeks, once the Brooza comes home one will go out, just have to figure out what size would be best. They're a wicked kite. Had a blast flogging the 4.8m Prototype down at the SOBB.

khooke - 10-9-2007 at 07:55 AM

GulfSandEater - I'll get the Ace in the post for you this week, hopefully in the next couple of days!

Thanks!

GulfSandEater - 10-9-2007 at 08:56 AM

Woot!

I tried to get some video but my helmet cam turned off at some point. I did capture some of me zooming by with the 12.5m though - check it out:

Looks like a great place to buggy khooke. In California flat Real estate like that means your in a cemetery :o

How long is this list going to run for? Can I get into it too?

Sthrasher38 - 11-9-2007 at 06:56 PM

WindDave, shoot a u2u with your mailing address as you are next in line for the Brooza!:borg:

Sthrasher38 - 13-9-2007 at 06:36 PM

I got the Brooza a couple days ago Nice kite. I have only flown it once but It was nice. Compared to my other kites I would say it flew soft. Build quality was strong in that sence I am sure a kite like this would last a long time. Meaning soft as easy to fly very smooth in the air. It was alot faster than I thought also. In all Imo a good engine! Thanks Pablo. I will be passing after the weekend to the next lucky person.:borg:

GulfSandEater - 13-9-2007 at 11:17 PM

Khooke,

Did you happen to get that Ace in the post? In fact, can I expect it tomorrow so I can have it for the weekend?!!! :puzzled:

OK...a little excited to get another kite in the mail to try, in case you couldn't tell. :rolleyes: hehe

BeamerBob - 14-9-2007 at 05:57 AM

Did I get dropped off the list somehow? I backed out of the blade loaner but still want to be on the list for the Ace and the Brooza. We are actually starting to get some wind these days as well. Incidentally, if the blade makes a second tour, I would like to be on the list. I didn't get a chance to fly tridudes last weekend (nor did he) since it was an HQ event and that wouldn't have been cool. So keep me in the loop if possible.

tridude - 14-9-2007 at 07:42 AM

Amen BBob, plenty of time to fly the Blade. Anyway, I was having too much fun with that Montana 3!

Pablo - 14-9-2007 at 08:38 AM

Brooza 5.5m

Archkiter,
SThrasher38
BeamerBob
Gilligan
Baluk
??????

That was the list so far, I'm guessing Wind Dave has been inserted between SThrasher and Gilligan. No idea. It'll still get around to you BB for sure before it heads home.

wind-dave - 14-9-2007 at 10:52 AM

I sent a u2u to Sthrasher38. Assuming I'm still next for the Brooza. Am I still on the list for the Ace? If not I'd like to be:D

BeamerBob - 14-9-2007 at 11:00 AM

I guess there must be some good reason to mix up the order. I feel lucky to get a chance to try different kites so if I get passed over, I can deal with it. I can't see where everyone lives so maybe it needs to not criss cross the border so much?

Sthrasher38 - 14-9-2007 at 07:31 PM

So sorry for the mix up. I have been busy an haven't been reading up Anyway I sent the kite to wind dave. Sorry Beamer Bob:( As for the Blade I don't want to send it back:rolleyes: Haven't got her out yet but man is it pretty!:borg:

Sthrasher38 - 17-9-2007 at 03:48 PM

Wind-dave did you get the Brooza yet? It should be there by wen.19th! Let us know and have fun.:saint: Pablo & Beamer Bob Sorry again for the mix up:no: Should have asked first But Bob it will just be that much more fun when you do get it.:thumbup:

wind-dave - 17-9-2007 at 06:51 PM

Yes, it already came today...that was fast - thanks man:wink2:

Sorry about the mix-up BeamerBob. I'll go fly it tomorrow and try to get it in the mail to you on Wednesday.

I flew it today for a little bit even though the winds were a little light at 7 - 12 mph for a 5.5m. After making a few new knots on my handles and shortening up the power lines I had it up and flying. The kite flys smooth and predictable and almost turns as fast as my Profoil. The Brooza seems like it powers up a little slower (maybe because of the smaller vents) and gives you time to react in sudden gusts. I flew some tight turns and loops close to the zenith and while jumping and I still got lifted pretty good even though the winds were light. Overall it's a pretty nice kite for the money, pretty neat design also. Hopefully I'll give it a go with the landboard tomorrow.

Thanks a heck of a lot Pablo and DaVinch for making something like this happen.:D

BeamBob - coming at ya Wednesday.

Baluk - 17-9-2007 at 06:56 PM

Is anyone going after Beamerbob gets it passes it on to Gilligan, or is it time to return to the great north?!?!!!!! ;)

GulfSandEater - 17-9-2007 at 08:23 PM

I'd have a go on the Brooza before heading back north, if possible.

By the way, Khooke, if you haven't already shipped the Ace to me, maybe it should go first to the next on the list. I'm not going to be able to fly for the next two weekends due to travel.

BeamerBob - 18-9-2007 at 03:00 AM

Wnd Dave,

Don't rush on my account. Make sure you have the full experience of the kite before you pass it on. We are just starting to get some afternoon winds here. And then I have to match the wind with my schedule.

Sthrasher38 - 18-9-2007 at 04:32 PM

The best way to match the wind with your schedule is to; Stop what you are doing when it is windy and go fly! If I ever wait the wind is gone before I get to fly. So impulse flying is what I do.:saint:

BeamerBob - 19-9-2007 at 05:27 AM

Thrash I don't know how you do it with 5 kids, I have responsibility for only 2 kids with 2 baseball teams practice games and tournaments, piano and trumpet lessons, homework and school projects, a 40 hour work week and a house to take care of to boot. I still manage to work it in, like during piano practice and on the baseball practices that I'm not a coach I can go to a neighboring field and get some flying in. But I really can't put kite flying in front of any of the above things. I can shift my schedule on the flexible items but most of it is on a strict timetable. We try to get to the gym a few days a week. Add in all the other hobbies we do as a family and it seems even worse. Water Skiing, snow skiing, inline skating, mountain biking, college football games, and camping. Usually the camping ENABLES kite flying though. the others block it.

Pablo - 19-9-2007 at 09:15 AM

It's really pretty easy with three kids, when it's windy we go to the park and fly, second bug as a trailer gives the kids lots of time getting rides in, all three fly as well at 4,6,and 8 yrs old and all three have moved across the feild in the buggy using only kite power, straight downwind at this point.

Non windy but sunny, bike rides(I'll atb) time at park with playground(take turns riding ATB down the hill at the playground as well. Rainy days, Pool, vid games, cleaning and other chores.

If the whole family kites, it's easy to find time. MrsPablo kites, but preferes to take pics, so she got a decent camera and is now happy when we go out because she's got something to shoot.

Sthrasher38 - 19-9-2007 at 03:13 PM

That sounds more like it All my kids love to fly also so we find time to go. And my younger girls most of the time have there own things to do so. mostly it is just us boys.:borg:

Pablo - 19-9-2007 at 07:03 PM

That's the main reason I originally started kiting, I was into white water kayaking, motorcycles and such, but it all took time away from my family. Now my "hobby" is something that the whole family can do. Nothing says summer like hanging out at the beach, building sand castles, jumping sandcastles, ripping up the beach and in general making memories that'll last a lifetime. The fact that I make a couple bucks along the way is gravy.

khooke - 20-9-2007 at 04:53 PM

The Ace in back on the move, on it's way to GulfSandEater today... hope you have fun with it!

GulfSandEater - 20-9-2007 at 11:34 PM

Thanks, Khooke. It might take me a couple of weeks to get this one tested due to traveling. Sorry for the delay everyone.

wind-dave - 24-9-2007 at 10:44 AM

The Brooza is heading at ya BeamerBob. Should be there in a few days.

Great kite!:D I got a good session in yesterday with it. Flew it in 10-12mph winds gusting up to 16. I really liked the way it handled the gusts, easy to fly kite with a lot more pop than I expected.

What happens to these kites after they make the rounds? Pablo, I would definitely love to take that Brooza off your hands if you're looking to sell it afterwards.

Thanks for letting me try it out Pablo:thumbup:

BeamerBob - 24-9-2007 at 11:02 AM

awesome, I made the wind go away yesterday by getting my kite bad out of the car. Hopefully, I will have some wind to make the Brooza go.

Pablo - 24-9-2007 at 08:00 PM

I could be persueded to let it go and replace it with a Brooza II, give me a shout after the rounds are finished.

SecondWind - 24-9-2007 at 08:38 PM

We can keep the Ace on tour. I don't need it back anytime soon.

Joe

SecondWind - 24-9-2007 at 08:47 PM

Here's the updated list for the Ace:

GulfSandEater
kiteboarder2b
Beamerbob
Sthrasher
Wind-Dave

I haven’t seen kiteboarder2b around here lately, so we'll have to see if he is still interested.

Pdxnebula - 24-9-2007 at 09:23 PM

I've always been interested but, the lack of $$$ situation is the pits... & not having heavy enough lines.. are the main stopping points on trying any of the kites floating around in the "Pass the ***** Programs"

SecondWind - 24-9-2007 at 09:29 PM

I have a set of Pansh lines and handles that I can send you for free. Just U2U me your address.

BTW, they are really tangled. They didn't come off the winder very well from the factory :lol:

Sthrasher38 - 25-9-2007 at 04:12 PM

Hey Nebula, You better get those lines. Thats nice of you DaVinch:saint: I am sending the Blade this weekend Do you want me to wait until you have line? Let me know. Bob if kiteboarder doesn't reply you may be having all three kites around the same time. Pray for some wind. I was in the same boat. Kites comming and no wind:mad: But when they arrived the wind god gave me some good days outta nowhere. I feel blessed. Nothing worse than to have new kites to try and no wind. Good luck.

BeamerBob - 25-9-2007 at 06:12 PM

You're making me nervous now. I feel the pressure, and it's not in my handles right now.:spin:

Sthrasher38 - 27-9-2007 at 04:50 PM

Your welcome!:borg:

wind-dave - 27-9-2007 at 08:40 PM

BeamerBob, did the Brooza get to you yet? Hopefully some wind along with it.:)

BeamerBob - 28-9-2007 at 05:32 AM

Nothing yet, I hope it comes today. I'm going out of town but might get some flying opportunities.

BeamerBob - 28-9-2007 at 09:02 AM

Houston, the eagle has landed! 10 mph winds for me tomorrow if I can just slip away for awhile.:singing:

PrairieWind - 28-9-2007 at 08:01 PM

Once the brooza has returned to the great white north I'll take a turn on the 5.5 after Baluk.

Thank you Pablo.

Baluk - 28-9-2007 at 08:03 PM

Sounds good to me... are you from Sakatchewan.. maybe manitoba?

PrairieWind - 28-9-2007 at 08:08 PM

even better,... Alberta

Pablo - 28-9-2007 at 09:32 PM

Brooza 5.5m

Current list, did I miss anyone in the list?

Sthrasher38 - 1-10-2007 at 03:23 PM

Poor Bob. Thats worse than me being that excited over 10mph wind. Lack of wind will make you crazy. Almost as bad as waiting for a new kite! Good luck Bob.:thumbup:

SoMoney - 1-10-2007 at 04:59 PM

Hey Davinch, not sure how far down the list I am for the Pansh but you can pull me off.

I broke down and Bought a 8.0m ACE Yesterday :evil: . The Rad7 is pretty and has solid non stop pull but I have to work it too hard to get my fat but Airborne. I'm going to try the Ace and probably put my Rad7 on the Sale page soon.

Sthrasher38 - 1-10-2007 at 05:01 PM

How do you like it?

SoMoney - 1-10-2007 at 05:07 PM

I ordered it :singing:, it should arrive in a few days. China post is supper quick. Ill put a write up in the reviews section when I have a chance to fly it. I plan on doing a side-by-side compare between my Rad7 and ACE8 w/photos (Almost went for the Blaze II 12.0 but my criteria is LIFT! )... Pansh dosn't bundle the big guy with handles so Ill be using my RAD handles until I can find some one willing to sell me a set for a steal of a price.

Sthrasher38 - 1-10-2007 at 05:15 PM

An 8meter should give good lift good luck.

GulfSandEater - 2-10-2007 at 08:06 AM

I received the Pansh 5.0m from Khooke and hope to get some air time this weekend. Thanks, Khooke!

BeamerBob - 2-10-2007 at 09:09 AM

I tried to fly yesterday. I took out the Crossfire to have its lines for the Brooza and couldn't keep the CF in the air. Maybe today.

Sthrasher38 - 3-10-2007 at 04:01 PM

Can we all send BeamerBob some wind?:saint:

Pablo - 3-10-2007 at 04:57 PM

Possibly some beans? Giant fan perhaps?

Sthrasher38 - 4-10-2007 at 01:50 PM

Funny!:lol:

Baluk - 11-10-2007 at 02:33 PM

Hows the brooza BeamerBob?

BeamerBob - 12-10-2007 at 03:06 AM

Due to low winds, I have only peeked in the bag to look at it. It hasn't had the opportunity to get unfolded yet. My weekend opened up quite a bit yesterday, so if the wind blows, I can get some flight time in.

Lets hold off on the beans for now.:smilegrin:

GulfSandEater - 12-10-2007 at 07:57 AM

The Ace has also been grounded.

I had some 8mph inland winds last Saturday near my house, so I grabbed the kite and went to the school yard across the street. In the 10-15 minutes or so that it took me to get the kite ready to go, the wind literally died. No flag movement, no tree movement, no breeze on the face! :ticking: I'm sure I looked silly out in the field with cars driving by, wondering what this guy is doing standing in a field with a "parachute". :frog:

The next day at Galveston the wind was 20 mph+ and I'd forgotten my safety gear. Needlesstosay, I didn't put the Ace up. I'm hoping for inland breezes this Sunday.

Sthrasher38 - 13-10-2007 at 08:44 AM

Well I dont feel so bad now as I see I am not the only one with lack of wind. I have been grounded for about 2 weeks! The wind only blows about 4,6,8 mph. Nothing more. I need to get a bigger kite for those winds.:borg:

Baluk - 13-10-2007 at 08:46 AM

Try having a fractured wrist and there is TONS OF WIND!! arrghh. WAY worse than not having wind. Trust me

Sthrasher38 - 13-10-2007 at 08:52 AM

Aww Man! Sorry to hear about that. Did I miss something Haven't posted in awhile. What happend? That would suck! fractured! Thats down time! Get well soon!:(

SecondWind - 13-10-2007 at 08:52 AM

Rain here....all weekend :(

Sthrasher38 - 13-10-2007 at 09:00 AM

Its raining here too! Rain I can deal with but no wind with this rain. Just a slow moving drizzle.:mad:

BeamerBob - 13-10-2007 at 12:23 PM

We are clear blue skies here and a warm 65 degrees. But the winds at 3-6 mph tomorrow as well. I'm gonna get some of the kids in the neighborhood to let me ride in the back of a golf cart and get them to go about 10 mph. Oh, what if it drags me out? Bad idea. Am I the only one that comes up with stupid ideas and then in seconds figures out the way I can die or be seriously injured with the idea? We have 8 mph on Monday. I might just go for it after work.

Baluk - 13-10-2007 at 12:27 PM

Simple, just tie a rope to the handles, and tie that rope around your waist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then tie yourself to the cart, how can you get pullled out then? It's nearly impossible....

er... rather, no. I guess you aren't the only one with stupid ideas :D

Pablo - 13-10-2007 at 03:19 PM

Bad idea, you'd be much better off to use a harness, hook in and tie a 20ft rope from the back of the harness to a golf cart.

Baluk - 13-10-2007 at 03:22 PM

Why didn't I think of that?

Pablo - 14-10-2007 at 06:38 PM

OK, where are we with the Brooza progress?

Combats should be here this week, one's going on tour, but I want the Brooza back before I send out the Combat.

BeamerBob - 15-10-2007 at 04:37 AM

I have the brooza. I am going into the mountains this weekend and there are 10-11 mph winds forecast. It should be steady enough up on top of the plateau to give her a go. If it doesn't pan out, I will just send it on its way. I don't want to hold up progress.

GulfSandEater - 15-10-2007 at 01:27 PM

I was able to get the Ace 5.0m into the air on Saturday afternoon off-and-on for about an hour on intermittant inland 8-10 mph winds. I took it out again yesterday in some stronger, more consistant 15'ish inland winds.

As AirH0g said on the Blade thread, I too was tossed around a bit by the 5.0m ACE in these conditions! :) Nice 6-10m scuds on grass, a long flight off a pendulum jump, and perpetual lift tendancies made for some exhilerating flight time. My arms and shoulders welcomed the harness after about 20 minutes.

It could have just been the inland wind and possibly brake setup, but I had some difficulties with luffing and bow-ties when redirecting from 10 or 2 o'clock to the zenith. I suspected brake lines since braking to the ground and reverse launching were very poor. In fact, trying to land almost always resulted in a counter-clockwise rotation of the kite which I could not balance out with the handles. I didn't have enough time to experiment with solutions, and I don't want to hog the kite any longer to try to figure it out. For the next flyer, just make a mental note of my observations in case you too experience this. Again, it could have just been my lines setup or the less-than-ideal inland winds.

Finally, a little scary tale:
I let my friend take the controls which was a mistake. He had flown my 2.5m and 3.0m extensively in 12 mph winds before without problems. So I warned him that this kite in 15 mph would have more pull, more lift. Instructed him to keep it near the zenith and out of the powerzone. I demonstrated keeping center-of-gravity low, sticking the butt WAY out to counter the pulls (hopefully avoiding supermans). He was about to launch when I said "Wait! Kite killers!" Thank you brain for remembering that, because as soon as he launched he was off, chasing the kite all over the place. He couldn't stabilize it. He over-compensated his redirects, driving the kite too low rather than to the zenith. :( In the end, it finally pulled him off his feet, and he had to let go of the handles and use the kite killers since the kite was dangerously approaching the trees at the edge of the park!

My friend got some "road rash" from the grass on one leg and arm and some bruising but said it was mainly the humble pie that hurt :'( The kite killers did their job and the kite came down before encountering any arborial matter. He has a new appreciation for the wind, and it reinforced in my mind the use of safety gear.

Kiteboarder, I've U2U'd you for a shipping address. I hope to get this in the mail to you early next week, just in case I find some time to play with those brake lines this week.

SecondWind - 15-10-2007 at 07:04 PM

Haven’t seen kiteboarder2b on the PKF in a long time. You'll probably be sending it to Beamerbob next.

Hey,

Okay, so as some of you may know, I have recently fractured my wrist.
I should be fully healed by Nov 1st though, so I was thinking, should we send the brooza to Prarie Wind after Gilligan and then to me and I can continue it on back to you Pablo?

Unless BeamerBob and Gilligan keep it till after Nov 1st, then I should be fine.

Pablo - 17-10-2007 at 07:46 PM

Well, someone in the states was looking to purchase that kite, so we could always have it tour the states then go there, and I can send out a new 5.5m Brooza II;)

Sthrasher38 - 17-10-2007 at 07:53 PM

Pablo,
When did you turn know it all? You have been busy. Look at all the stars. wtg. New Brooza 2 everyone!:borg:

Pablo - 17-10-2007 at 08:55 PM

I think I've always been an unofficial know it all, didn't realize that there was that many posts over there.

Brooza II's are out, Basically the same as the Brooza I, but have the adjustable bridal, wing tip zippers to clean out the kite and a print on both sides of the kite instead of just the top.

Combats arrive some time before friday, so I've been trying to get the Brooza's around and done. Once they're finished then a Combat will be going on tour to those that can handle it.

Baluk - 18-10-2007 at 12:48 PM

Pablo, I definitely can't see a problem with that !:P

Sthrasher38 - 18-10-2007 at 05:07 PM

What size? And how will you know if someone can handle it?:borg:

Pablo - 19-10-2007 at 04:50 PM

It'll be somewhere between a 3.4m and a 5m, I'm going to have to go with common sense on this one, While underpowered with a race kite sucks, the combat is quite quick and abrupt with the power delivery, it'd be easy for a noob to get into trouble quickly.

More than that, putting someone on a race kite before they're ready will be a completely miserable experience for them, If they're not used to using the brake lines as an active part of flying the kite then best to stay away from the combat. You need to use the brakes to really turn the kite, and you won't get anywhere near the performance out of it if you don't understand how to shape a kite using the brake lines. If you're not aiming for 40mph+, you really have no use for one.

Sthrasher38 - 20-10-2007 at 07:06 PM

40 plus!!!! I am not ready! Thanks anyway.

SecondWind - 23-10-2007 at 08:31 PM

BeamerBob - did you get to fly the Ace yet?

GulfSandEater - 25-10-2007 at 07:31 AM

BeamerBob-

I sent the ACE your way on Tuesday by priority mail from Houston. You should see it any day now. Hopefully you'll get it in time to fly this weekend. You can check the delivery confirmation at www.usps.com with #0306 0320 0005 4156 4841. It's showing that it was processed in Atlanta yesterday.

Scott

BeamerBob - 25-10-2007 at 07:35 AM

Maybe I'll see it today or tomorrow. I have a baseball tournament with my 8 year old and have some downtime midday Saturday.

Sthrasher38 - 25-10-2007 at 05:32 PM

Bob let me know when you are done with the Ace and I will send you shipping info. Thanks.:borg:

BeamerBob - 26-10-2007 at 08:55 AM

I have the Ace. I will prolly spread it out here in the office during lunch. Will fly this weekend if possible but certainly next weekend.

Sthrasher38 - 26-10-2007 at 05:39 PM

ko. just let me know when you are ready to send it. Have fun.:borg:

khooke - 26-10-2007 at 11:47 PM

I've just had my stitches in my back taken out and Dr says I can resume 'normal activities with no physical restrictions' - I didn't go into details and find out if being dragged across a field with a kite was considered normal, probably not, but anyway I'm in good shape and ready to start buggying again (btw - I had a tiny mole on my back that turned out to be melanoma... had a large area of my back removed as a precaution and 4 lymph nodes under my arm removed, but luckily there wasn't any cancer cells found anywhere other than the piece they removed, so I'm all clear. Morale of the story - wear plenty of suncreen when you're out there kite flying people!)

Hey - Pablo... add me to the Combat list... I'd love to give that a go (but first I'm out this weekend to do some gentle 'getting dragged across a field' to get back in the swing of things ;)

Pablo - 27-10-2007 at 02:04 PM

Sure thing, I'll make a formal announcement after the Brooza is done making the rounds.

Hope things go well as you get back into kiting.

So, as far as I know the Brooza is still with Beamer Bob, should probably get this thing moving along, Once it's finished in the states if someone is after the 5.5m, make me an offer, I can sent a Brooza II for the rest. but I'd like to get this wrapped up in the next while. Combats are finally cleared customs, so I'd like to get one of those making the tour.

Turns out it's a bad idea to have Combat and Toys on a package heading into the country from overseas.

I still have the Brooza. I've only had one good wind day since I got it. I will fly it this weekend at the beach and send it on it's way on Monday. I can either send it home or to it's new owner. The Ace will go out then too to SThrasher. I appreciate the chance to get to fly these kites. My eyes were really opened by the Ace. I look forward to getting the forecast 13 mph beach winds on Sunday to fly the Ace one more time and put some time in with the Brooza.:D

So where should I send this Brooza to? I have an address for Thrasher to send the Ace. I was at the end of the list so I can send it home or I thought someone wanted to buy it and it was supposed to go there. Just let me know.

I'd like to give the Brooza a try, if Pablo has no objections and there's no one else on the list.

BeamerBob - 5-11-2007 at 10:27 AM

I think he was wanting to get it where it was going before loaning out some of the combats. I'm awaiting instructions though. It can go in the mail tomorrow to somewhere.

So how is the Ace holding up? Stitching still OK? This is turning into a pretty good durability test :thumbup:

Archkiter,
SThrasher38
BeamerBob
Gilligan
Baluk
Prarie Wind

That was the list to date, but I thing Baluk and Prarie will probably get a Brooza II eventually if someone's after the Brooza I 5.5m, gotta get the Combat out while the fall winds are blowing.

Well, Gilligan wanted a go, so if he's still kicking around it should go to him, then Deadhead. so unless Gilligan says something soon, may as well send it to Deadhead and get the US wrapped up.

Bob, Where is the ace? on its way yet? No wind at the moment But still would like to have just in case.:borg:

BeamerBob - 6-11-2007 at 05:50 AM

Gone all this past weekend and didn't stop till 10 last night. No break tonight till after piano practice and then baseball practice at about 7:30. I can get them packed up tonight and shipped tomorrow. I have Thrashers address for the ace, but need an address for the Brooza. First up gets the goods. Ships Wednesday.

SecondWind - 6-11-2007 at 03:17 PM

How did it go with the Ace BB??

Pablo - 6-11-2007 at 06:33 PM

Well Gilligan or Deadhead, someone send the man an address. Either that or it's coming back to Canada

BeamerBob - 6-11-2007 at 06:57 PM

I have addresses and both the Ace and Brooza will hit the pony express Wednesday.

Sthrasher38 - 7-11-2007 at 06:47 PM

Thanks Bob.

When I was refolding it to send it out, I noticed one bridle that looked a little worn. I didn't have good light but it just looked a little fuzzy. I tugged on it and it held but it might need looking at. I couldn't tell you where it was because it was a section of bridle hanging out of the folded kite. I was tucking it in when I noticed. Awesome kite to fly. I might still have to get one, especially with those new sewn bridle lines. They might actually be usable now. Thanks again for the spin with her.:singing:
