The nerve to tell me to go fly a dam kite (pick one )


now heres a bearfoot lady  that knows how to MuliTask on the JOB
OR is she sending Chris up his noon sandwich
OR as you see only 4 visitors today so she needed some stress relief
now the instigator that i am i need photos ( or video to see if she can muli- muli-muli-task say with a  hula- hoop a  glass of wine and fly the kite at the same time (not on lighthouse time ) it would be onlyfitting to add that to ones resume and to send to her mom back home
now if you cant guess thats Cherie from  TECHNOMADIA,COM the 2-C,s are on there round the US World Tour Volunteeing there time at Point Blanco  lighthouse  and selling kites to restock there relief fund so thay can attend the 2014 Africa burn  seeing as the 2-Cs missed THE 2013 BURNING MAN

                                                  well old Ben found a neet cool trick

well this week i picked up a  NPW5  for 70$   now your saying what the hells a NPW5 well it seems NASA needed to get in the kite flying,, in case the shit hits the fan and there are no rockets to play with so the boys came up with there own kite unlike all the rest
now most of the guys at NASA are a lot older the new 11m and 18m kites have to much power (this is one time small is better )so thy came up with a 5m kite thats not like the norm that the old guys can fly
now seeing there on NASAs payroll and it needed a name tada NASA power wing 5m
now the young guys coming out of the sand box  lookd at the old guys with a 5m kite got to thinking well bigger is better for young guys to play with well out came the slide-ruler and out came a new kite ,,not to be out done by the old guys they named it NPW9 oneupmanship and still on NASAs payroll to boot

now if you look close you will see how i the  old guy needed to set this 5m kite up seeing as how i did not wish to fly over NASAs rocket range and FAA crap to deal with (O did i tell u i went to NASAs parking lot ) its only fitting i fly it there
 the wind was about 10/13  with gusts about 15
well this was my stop line (thank god) and the truck never moved 1in, but this sucker took off and boy did i have a WORK OUT, say did i tell you its FOR SALE   i,m- down- size -ing
                                                                    anyone got a 3m trainer kite


                        now this is a Prism EO6 on lite wind it will do some rolling tricks but not much
                   u have more fun with pop it up and forget it sheri,s toy


                     now this a delta by delta  cool to fly on any day best in low wind for some tricks
 now this also a dalta but its 48w  with tails  still best in low wind  u would be hard pressed to crash this guy lots of fun  im trying to get a 8ft wide one same as this but 2 wire trickster
 now this snapshot 1.2  small bad boy i spend most of my time with crash and burn  but we need more wind
like lots of wind,, plus this is my newest toy after seeing the guys over in the PNW flying thrers  looks cool to try,, i looked at a kiteboard trainner but for 230$ we stick to the less$$ ones
 small and i mean small  like 12x8in, 70ft of line  and this cool kite looks like its will be fun to fly as soon as i can get some wind  its called a pocket kite i got at Ron-Jons for 7$



now as for winders this is the only way to go,, mine is ,,black,, and  has about 800ft of 30lb, test this is best for one man setup
A note to think about,, in europe,, kites can only go as high as 400ft,, in england 40meters,,          USA 500ft good boys (any one wish to send me a 1000yds of fishing line cheap)


                                                           SO NOW GO FLY  A KITE
