I know it may sound really cheap or even lame, but........

I really want to give a big heart-felt thank you to those (even the smallest contributor) who allow us to enjoy this forum. I can't imagine the work (and money) it must take to keep it alive. Spending the past few hours sharing a drink (or 10) with the father-in-law, I haven't seem in almost a year. I realized, that family, is what makes us who we are, and what keeps us going. If it wasn't for this forum. I might not have more than 5 true friends other than my wife and kids (again not trying to be lame, childish or cheeky ) that I could call a good friend. This forum has given me a lot of courage, knowledge, and enthusiasm for the sport that we share. If it was not for those footing the bill to allow this forum to exist, then I may have not gotten the chance to converse with any of the members here.It just blows my mind every time, someone here is caring enough to help a complete stranger get out of a bind. The offers to use their gear, to teach,to make friends without knowing who the other person is amazing. It just really makes me think what a lucky person I am to have found this forum first when I was starting out.I can't thank you enough for making this family possible. May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.

so true Shaggs! Merry Christmas!

This place is the best. There are just to many good people on here to start a list so just go to the bottom of the page and start reading. I have been helped with very complicated issues and some rediculasly easy ones that just needed an out side prespective.
I apriciate all the things that go on here and all the info that is passed around. And as Shaggs said. The friends are the icing on the cake. And I like the icing a lot!:embarrased:
Happy holidays and the whole year. Dave.

I LOVE my Pkf Family. Here's wishing a very Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. May you all get that wind you've been wanting. Sorry if you got a kite for X-mas,can't help ya'.(curse of the new kite) you know,at least 2 weeks w/ NO wind...
And YES! A BIG THANK YOU TO BOB CHILDS. Without you and your support we would all be lost.

Couldn't be said in better words.

Since day one that I arrived here that I was welcomed with open arms.
Every single doubt or question I had, there would be someone ready to give some input about it.

Although we're all miles away (some more than others), I feel really close to all that roam here.
You're the type of people that I would love to be flying with, :D

Merry Christmas to us all

I spend more time with you friends than any other, either on line or live.

Thank You PKF and Merry Christmas! Or Happy ________ ! (Whatever works for you!) :cool2:

Dittos to all above....and in the Holiday Spirit! :roll:

Same here- thanks to all of the people behind the scenes who make PKF possible, and all of the members who share their time and passion about powerkiting who make it such a great resource and place to meet other kiters.

LOL Man, I love that 'ditto' with the lights. Cheeky! Happy Holidays everyone, and special thanks to PKF.

Yep, Shaggs is right, this is by far the best run forum of all the places I visit and enough cannot be said about those of you who have put time into making it what it is. I also believe with out a doubt that the quality of "The Family" here on PKF is some of the best people I have had the pleasure to associate with either on line or in person.

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday and wish you all the very best.

Dustin.

And thanks for keeping the place clean from spammers. I am sure I spend way too much time here but it is a pleasant place to be.

It's my pleasure. Happy holidays everyone!
