The ends of the spectrum are like the sports itself.
I’ve seen guys drop a ton of cash each year, upgrade their
entire kit. And, I’ve also seen some Kiter’s that don’t spend a dime to replace parts that are well beyond their wear limit, IMHO.
Being one of the Kiter’s in the broke-ass Kiter group,
I don’t have the deep pockets to buy new gear each year.
It’s made me into somewhat of an expert in fixing the shit.

So, I’m just curious to know , what people’s Kite strategy
is.
1.dump money at the sport
2.total neglect buying gear to the point of unsafe flying
3.buy last years kites
4.buy 1 kite/yr
Doesn’t need to be any of the listed options
