Maybe I should take the kite out again soon. With fall around the corner, we’re bound to get some wind, right? I doubt I could get the GoPro in the air though.
(PS: I figured out how to get videos on my site to play embedded in Twitter! Fancy!)

Prism’s Synthesis stunt kite looks AWESOME, and I think it would fly REALLY well in my area. Maybe next month.

I got to fly the big kite this afternoon! Little guy kept getting ripped up. I had to adjust the birdle a bit, but once I did I was flying high!
The big one is a lot slower, but it pulls you a lot harder, so it’s more of a workout, and still reeeeeeally fun.

I’m still pretty new to flying kites, just started doing it a bit last year when I bought a Quantum 2.0 in Kitty Hawk. I’ve been having trouble keeping that kite in the air here so I got a 4D Ultralite instead, and man does this thing rip!

Welp, I finally found my kite flyin’ spot, and it is literally two blocks away from my house! I had the best flying session since I was at the Outer Banks. I found my GoPro and my mount for my hat, so next time I go out I think I’ll record so y’all can see how fast this kite zooms. It’s SO sensitive.

I was flying my kite on Earth Day, and the local news picked up on it, snapped a photo, and published a story for Earth Day. The resulting photo is pretty cool!
Side note – this new zero-wind kite is pretty awesome. It’s a real workout to keep it in the air when there’s no wind, but definitely do-able, and a lot of fun either way.

I can’t wait to fly this thing! It’s SO light, and delicate, but it’s rated at 0-15MPH wind speeds. I love my Quantum but it’s really hard to keep that thing in the air at those speeds. If you had short enough lines, you could fly this in a gymnasium.

I was at the Outer Banks last month, and while I was there I got to test out this really cool GoPro kite mount prototype I designed. It worked really well, but I am just now getting around to uploading the video for it. I’ll end up doing an actual post of this project in its entirety soon, but for now, here’s the video.
SO FREAKING COOL, RIGHT?!

IT FREAKING WORKED! I had to make a single minor adjustment – the clip didn’t pinch hard enough. Nothing a cotter pin couldn’t fix! I’ll upload the video soon, but it is really…REALLY stable. I’m positively thrilled by the result!
