What the hell is all that white stuff? We don't have any white stuff.

Who do I have to talk to to get some damn white stuff?!

I agree, see article "Waiter, There's a Hole in my Snow Cover!"

And to top that, the next storm looks like more of the same.

It started out as a "wait, I think I feel a breeze!......no, that wasn't it" kinda morning but wrapped up a great light wind day. I didn't have my meter out but I'd say it peaked around 9-10 knots in the gusts but held a solid 7 or 8?

Feyd - send me your address I'll box some up and send it your way :lol:

That was GREAT ! Thanks for taking the Photos Kiteboyza !

Fantastic to see all the innovations Pansh is coming out with. I am not completely in touch with the " race " kite scene ? Is that sleek new material similar ( only seen anything like it on S.C. kites ? ) to what most of the other race kites will be moving to ?

Not a ton of wind to play with but plenty of new friends ! As always I learned a few things . ALREADY knew that my 15 Charger will not self inflate below 8kts :no:

Pansh is really working on better and better kites. If you put a knew Pansh next to my old Ace you would never believe they are from the same company ! HUGE steps in upgrading everything from lines to bridles to canopy materials !! :thumbup:

That " kite panel " is the ANSWER ! I never fully understood how it works. The example I saw seemed all about pockets . I never clued in the it's real function. For those that missed it. The kite panel is a piece that zipps to your own jackets zippers on each side and has a nice little cut out in the panel for your spreader hook ! Simple way to create a snowkite jacket from your favorite one! COOL!:thumbup:
