I like to ride with windsurfing buddies. My friend Myron from Kansas just sent me a CD with some pictures he took while I was out riding one of his favorite spots last year. Lit on my 5m.

| Tue Aug 02, 11 8:00 pm 2005 fuels? |
|

i loved my 2005 fuels, but they all eventually turned into "left flyers" or "right flyers", so they had to go.
so what's the secret to extending a kite's life span (with lots of use) |

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

no sheeting, ha ha. Roll them loose and no folds which is easy for 5m kites. They are laid out in the basement when not in use.
As for left/right flying, I have a micro trim device for each outside line which I can adjust while riding.
Has anyone figured out the spot? |

Hey Hien
I have a 2005 5M Fuel you can have for free (or make a small donation to KBFC). The kite was flown for a total of 15 minutes. I flew it for about 10 minutes then my girlfirend flew it for about 5 minutes. I was trying to teach her how to fly a kite that day. The kite double looped dragging her ass about 50 feet down the beach...the kite landed softley at the side of the window. I ran up the beach to assist her up from the sand where I got a double handed pistol whip by the bar across the face knocking me to the ground..she never attempted kitesuring again and needless to say I never attempted to give lessons again...
I plan to be in Portland/Hoodriver the last week of August I can drop it off to you then..
