<div>Hey all. I'm hoping someone here can answer my question. I have come into the possession of an old airfoil kite. Its kinda small, and nothing fancy. But for the life of me, I just can't figure out how to hook it up to a line. Here's a picture I took to help illustrate my problem... <br/> <br/>http://www.flickr.com/photos/raineyfarms/90672268/ <br/> <br/>I'm assuming that the long edge is the leading edge, and the short edge is the trailing edge. The short edge has a line with a swivel connector in the center. The long edge has a line with a knotted loop at the center. Because of the positioning of the leading and trailing lines, I'm pretty sure that this is a single line kite. <br/> <br/>If someone has an idea how to connect it to a line, or at least a link to an example, I'd be most appreciative. <br/> <br/>TIA <br/> <br/>Sir Real</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kites.tribe.net">Kites</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>of flying down at the town marina from a few months back. Got some shots of a local with his 2 line power foil and mountainboard. Pretty cool to see him whizzing around the paths in the park area there. <br/> <br/>Also shown is my main kite, the Rev 2 supersonic. I've found that any time I try to fly with less than 4 lines I get bored in a hurry. <br/> <br/>That silly weather thing sure makes it harder to fly these months.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kites.tribe.net">Kites</a> - 1 reply </div>

I met a GuildWorks designer at Burning Man a few years ago and watched him fly for a while. <br/> <br/>Any Synergy owners out there have any comments on these kites?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kites.tribe.net">Kites</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Hi, <br/> <br/>I'm looking for the best place to fly my parafoil early in the morning before work in San Francisco.

<div>Hello, <br/> <br/>I'm planning on participating in this event. <br/> <br/>"Department of Tethered Aviation is all about kites! Come fly with us on Thursday @4:20PM for our annual Burning Man Kite Festival." <br/> <br/>http://www.dotarocks.net/default.html <br/> <br/>Anyone have any suggestions for a kite that meets these criterias: <br/>1. Visually stunning <br/>2. Single line <br/>3. easy to fly. <br/>4. can withstand a sudden gust of 50 mph or more <br/>5. easy to transport <br/>6. inexpinsive (see point #4) <br/> <br/>Much thanks, in advance.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kites.tribe.net">Kites</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>I'm not talking about the drug store $3.00 types. What was the first real kite you purchased or made for yourself? <br/> <br/>Mine was a Premier Trick and Track, as designed by Jon Trennepohl of Skyburner Kites. I purchased it about five years ago, and it still is in heavy rotation when I fly kites.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kites.tribe.net">Kites</a> - 12 replies </div>

<div>Have uploaded a couple of pics of the new Gemini and my other kite, and Impact.. <br/>Took the Gemini out for its first flights today, as a test..even though there was not that much wind. It feels nice, if a little 'over controlled' on 15 metre lines. <br/>You might need sunglasses to view the pics by the way, i had the Gemini 'custom coloured' in bright red and fluro pink!..</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kites.tribe.net">Kites</a> - 0 replies </div>
