Hi Tim,
ReplyDeleteFunny that you should comment on my blog, of all people. I have a kite phobia. It stems from a bad experience when I was 7. My husband hates it and I'm trying to get past it. I want my kids to be able to enjoy kites like all the normal people in the world!
Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Bad experiences in kites usually come from being handed a kite before you are ready. People in general do not take kites seriously at any level. They are the precursors to the airplanes we fly in and are also one of the most amazing balancing acts that we humans have come up with. To view a kite while it's working is to view one of the more complex systems we get to personally see.
ReplyDeleteDo not start with powerful kites, they are to be treated with the same care that a loaded gun might be. Use light kites in light wind. Have someone with you who is not pushing you into anything and will help you to understand the why behind it all.
Best
Tim
I like your blog a lot keep posts like this coming!
ReplyDeleteHi Tim:
ReplyDeleteDo you do repairs to other Cabrinah kites? I ripped the canopy after tomahauk crashing my kite recently, one of the bladders also went.
Thanks you,
