I've got a similar setup, but I've gotten rid off the ball. It caused me some unwanted releases...not a good feeling. Since changing to this setup, it works fine. No spontaneous releases. Admittedly, I don't use it much anymore, since getting a rope slider chickenloop. I think because I still rememb...

The stronger and gustier the wind, the lower the kite should be, whether on the water or...

How about a movie on that, Evan? I'd be very interested!

No, no joke. If you add a net, and an anchor, you have real cheap floating storage space.
