My beautiful wife, who very pretty, and less than 40, only undresses me- and frequently at that. I hope your friends at Venture appreciate my efforts.

oh, and please now refer to me as "wind rider" (per the photo title), tighe can you change my handle?

I ride the North Kites, I think other than one more person I'm probably the only one who rides North.

Thanks Tighe, I like the Magic 9 comment by the way, I have found myself flying my mystical 9 also a lot, pretty interesting that it seems like this last year has been the year of the smaller kites like the 7's and 9's and 14's? I use my 14 now more than anything, it just fly's really fast and produces a ton of pull V.S having to deal with a much bigger and heavier 16.

I think I did meet you Krazy Katie, you were in the brown snow coat and sunglasses this last weekend, so I think we have met then, I was the guy with teh North Kites back where everyone was parking, the 14m I was flying was the Rebel, blue, brown and white tipped wings.

You guys and your small kites. If I remember correctly the guys on the big 18+ C kites were boosting the biggest last weekend.

I have to get my flat kite pokes in when I can. :wink:

OK you're right Chris, if I'm going off a ledge and falling 10+ feet, uncertain if there is any wind to hold me up, I want the largest damn kite I can find. For everything else I'll take my little Magic 9m.

Ug..me fat...need big.

I like the glide of a nice canopy over my head, rather than the up and down elavator shaft ride, not good for older knees.

Right on, Steve. If you are jumping in light air, the bigger the better. For cruising on fast snow or ice a small kite is fine.
