Re: Please Help Kevin - Ft. Lauderdale Lofting

What ever happened to kite low? Did bows make everyone completely forget that keeping your kite high in strong gusts is ASKING for a lofting?

Re: same style Quick release - we are getting there!

I see the same old "I dont like push away" complaints over and over. My guess is that these are people who are not into unhooked riding.

Re: Reliable release?

Cabrinha's is a great simple design except you can easily loose the chicken loop since it actually disconnects from the kite.

Re: Become a "Beliver"
