new kite curse

I've heard it mentioned that when you get a new kite the curse kicks in. I can confirm this. PL Twister II 5.6 should be here today or tomorrow, and the winds all week are 15-20 however with those winds come heavy rain :( I guess its sort of a blessing in disguise since I've so far only flown the 4.1 in winds up to 15ish. Go away rain! Lol!

Watch that low! Looks like the 1st tropical system of the season is forming!..........aj

yeah, living in hurricane alley I always keep a keen eye on the tropics this time of year. The times between systems should make for some interesting flying :)

SInce this is "Storm Preparedness" training week at work.. fits perfectly.


But I know the feeling of the kite curse. last week was one of the first weekdays I've had off with wind. Usually day off with no crowds = no wind.

Just static for now, still learning :) I've flown the PL Twister II 4.1 a couple times (friends kite) and I'm hooked. I bought the 5.6 for light days seeing as how my friend and I will be flying together and we can switch off flying foils. Eventually I want to try land boarding/ buggies/ and kite surfing.
