Jake and I got there at 12:30 to kites in the air.
(the WOW guy's teaching lessons)
The first session on my 13M Instinct, was great fun.
Rode to the top, but I found the snow kinda crappy from all the kiters in town from the weekend KiteJam.
Finally found some powder to play in, and learn some new stuff.
.
The second session was on my 12M Frenzy,
The wind was getting lighter as the day went on,
and finally died at sunset.
Then the Moon came over the hill just as we were leaving.
Great day, and I was excited cause I pulled off some new tricks
I'd been wanting to do for a long time.
We're so lucky to have this playground in our back yards.....

And today was my 100th day in 2006.

Marty-
How does the 13m Instinct compare to the 12m Frenzy? Was thinking about getting a 14m. What do you think? I would think just getting out of bed in the morning would constitute a trick for you old guys.

Jason,

I've been using my 13m instinct and I think the 12m frenzy has more power, where the 12m frenzy is like a 15-16m inflatable the 13m instinct is like a 14-15m inflatable. Hit me up if your going kiting this weekend..

Ry...

My timing is so slow,
that by flying the Instinct all year,
my timing is better with the Instinct than the Frenzy.
I will use both kites this winter,
depending on the situation.
Just like Ski/snowboard, gas/diesel, 4stroke/2stroke
they both have thier advantages.
