Too much wind.......

Mon Oct 31, 2005 9:36 am

V.frustrating weekend. First completely free w/e I have had since I got my 1.5SLE and it was too bloody winded - gusting upto 25mph at times and beyond my abilities at the mo. As I am new to this kite business and only have one in the bag at present this left me pretty much stuck.

I was wondering whether it would be worth my while buying a vented Rev 1.5 for those inevitably windy days we will get over the winter. If the answer is yes - I don't suppose anyone has a 2nd hand one lying around they fancy selling????? ;) ;)

it would be worthwhile if you don't want to curse yourself all winter.
no, I haven't got one for sale, but maybe someone else can help you out.
