Hey, was watching at the pics of the Kites on the trees. Remember that Two line 10 mt Naish explorer bran new that I crashed that day? I had it fixed at Jeff Howard´s shop in Corpus Christy, texas and got it back in great shape. Since that kite was meant to be used to teach I was thinking of a way to make it more friendly to students, than I fixed a third line to the kite. Wow, it works and worked very well. I went to the beach to just try it and see how the sistem work. Wind was light and all were flying 15 to 18 mts kites at country club and I decided to give it a try with my 138 XX from rrd and friends told me I was not going to have enough, man I was rocking with that little &%$&!!! eventhough I was pumping the kite alot it did not stop me from doing a few raleys, backroolls and front rolls and to have goten back to the same spot I started. The sistem, even Im sure has been done before I beleive its a great intro to beginners that want to know how 5th lines work before using a 5 line kite!!!

I think Im going from 5 line kites to 3 line kites in the future (for personal use of course!)

3 line kite rocks!!!

Hope all its well up there that the weather its getting better for you all

That's pretty cool Adrian.
Post some pictures of your kite.
I noticed it's still very windy in Cozumel these days. Cool
