So what's better than flying YOUR kite??


Watching your daughter fly her first real kite!!!
Bought her a Symphony 1.4, 2 line trainer this past weekend at the kite festival on OBX. The winds were perfect for that little guy. She is only 8 years old too. Only every flew dollar store Barbie kites before this. I gave her about 5 minutes of me holding her hands before she grabbed the concept. Wifey grabbed the recorder, and this was it :wee:! No prelims LOL.
Kinda short flight, but she did pull off a brief hover, and a few spin dives. Sorry if I sounded a little goofy, but I was stoked!!!Life is good!:smilegrin:

DUDE! Nicely done.

I have a 7 yr old daughter who has expressed some interest in my Symphony 2.1. She calls it my rainbow kite. Hopefully, I can get her flying at JIBE.

Then maybe I'll get her a Beamer :)



I'm going to take a nap now

Thank you Soliver!
I also really do like how you include your kids in your kite/buggy topics. I think I've created a lil monster though :smilegrin: :smilegrin:

The way she was zipping that kite though the power zone, I'd say she had been flying foils for months - nice job! :wow:
