hirez(I recall posting about big kites before, but finding same would require delving through the bits of LJ that I made private because they were too tiresome. Thus I probably repeat myself with a periodicity of about five years. That's not too bad in human terms.)
I've had a 10-foot Flexfoil since, um, 1990. I used to fly the thing all the damn time. Not long after that, I bagged myself a Flexifoil Impulse delta (I don't think they make them any more) and flew that when I wasn't being dragged about by the big foil. Now that I come to enumerate my kites, I discover another delta that has 'LA Cut' and 'Far out' on its bag. It seems to be from HK and the manual's in German. I don't recall ever flying the poor beast, which is a terrible thing.
Anyway. For the first time in far too long,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Alternatively, there's
