being juiced on my 5 is getting old.
Can manage it until about mid 30s.
A low aspect 3.7 C would be sweet
Custom kite anyone?

| Could probably generate some flat patterns but really just looking for someone to build a custom kite to my specs. Basically a scaled down 5M Fuel.

| Blowhard is always threatening to buy that waroo 3m to complete his small kite quiver. he likes to impress people by flying the smallest kite in the sky, and since some days everyone else is on 5s....

| i know your talking c kites but i went out on a 4 meter rise a few weeks back on my 6'0 surf when it was probably 25 gusting to 35 or so and had a fucking blast. i weigh 170 and had plenty of kite to get me around. it was so fun to not feel overpowered in nuked out conditions.

From the thread kite idea

Maybe with a cover that streches open when pressure diff. gets high enough. Concept is to relieve some of the pressure difference and introduce some turbulence to keep the kite from squirting around so much Remember slotted fins? Size and placement would take some experimentation though... ...Hein |
Wasn't there a small GTO like 3M??
anyone got a lead on one of those?
I'll pay good money.

I wonder if something that small will have enough power to get you through the impact zone - or is this just for the river

so I got me a spare 5m. Thanks, Shay.
I made a generous offer for JW's 3 M GTO.
It might be too small but I'll try it.
haven't heard back.
5M GTO would be sweet.
Anyone got a lead for me?
Swap meet left overs?
.20 today and I'm grounded due to
high winds.
