West Australian Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hi All, I have been wandering around with Rev's in my vision... Loking at places and Judging their worthiness for Flying. I have a nice spot walking distance from my work. It is a fairly small area of grass, but I could use 40' lines. I understand the use of Short lines in very light winds, but does anyone regularly fly in moderate to strong winds on short lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mihaaa Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hey a rather urgent question (for me at least ) , maybe someone can help, it's not too off topic i hope .. I'm looking for a 30' 50 or 90 lb strings (rev B series) since I'm from EU shipping from USA is pretty costy but at the moment there is a friend of mine in the US and will bring me the strings the problem is that he is going back to EU soon and the time for the strings to arrive is pretty short.. can anyone recommend an online store that has them in stock so that an item might get shipped today (friend is staying in Florida).. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kwmf Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I get all my stuff from Theresa at The Kite Shoppe (www.thekiteshoppe.com) - but I'm a Laser Pro guy and can't get around the shipping. I think A Wind of Change (www.awindofchange) do Shanti lines if that is your preference. I'm sure others will offer possible suggestions, but those are the main 2 I know of and you did say speed was of the essence. In all cases I would suggest either your friend or you CALL the shop of your choice to make the arrangements so that things can be shipped and arrive in time.

0 mihaaa Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 thanks kwmf, sorry for the delay, but I wasn't able to login and reply to the post (not sure why), IO contacted AWOC before posting here but unfortunately to the misunderstood in communication and my narrow time window it's not going to go through this time (kite shoppe is in Canada and is even further) thanks for your reply anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the Vancouver across the Columbia river from Portland, Oregon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Australian
Hi All,
I have been wandering around with Rev's in my vision...
Loking at places and Judging their worthiness for Flying.
I have a nice spot walking distance from my work. It is a fairly small area of grass, but I could use 40' lines.
I understand the use of Short lines in very light winds, but does anyone regularly fly in moderate to strong winds on short lines?

I was out this week with West Australian and the wind died for a bit, so I pulled out my newly made up 30 footers (give or take a foot). Saddled up the good old EXP with a 2 frame and took it for a sp

Just wait until you have the skill and confidence to use the kite to (safely) interact with people on those 30' lines In the mean time, find something in your surroundings to practice with ... land

Interacting with people at very close quarters requires absolute unwaivering control of your kite ... but it is SO worth the effort in getting to that point when you get the response from them. I mai
