Yeah, nice Phil - you never miss an opp to bash on kiteforum too - at least you didn't get on your small kite podium.

That's an interesting issue - virtually Slingshot free - no ads, no mention in the kite buyers guide, nothin.

Also, isn't that the issue where Dylan is getting props all over the place from Dre, and Tekko and that sweet slider pic?

Thanks y'all! Going to have to buy some new hats with all this head swelling going on.

Slither - yeah I pick on KiteForum a lot. Maybe I am just bitter about Toby kicking back in Brazil.... Hmmm actually I am definitely bitter about that! Very Happy

Small kites yeah - ha. Hey Toby must be your brother from another mother because he once posted that he doesn't ride kites smaller than 12m. Shocked

But really... You guys are great and are actual real live kiters getting out in killer conditions. Not just a bunch of keyboard jockeys like on KF. That's what makes this forum work.

Contributing - Decals are fun, it’s a zero sum thing for me, but its cool to see people representing them on their cars. T-shirts we don't really make much/any there either, mostly just a way to connect kiters here with the shops. Giving back to the shops is big for me, because I want them to stick around.

If you really want to contribute just come out to the big party every year and buy a raffle ticket. We still don't make any money but ideally it'd be fun to keep growing that party. It’s the most fun night I have all year, and as soon as its over I can't stop thinking about next year's. What makes it fun is you are all there and seeing everyone at once is a trip!

Cheers! Thumb's Up

This forum definitely rocks more than any other forum that I have visited. Whether posting current conditions or plans to get out or just being a complete goofball to kill time during the winter there is quite a community here and that is one of the things that makes kiting in this area so much fun. I don't know what I would do if nwkite went away (besides get more work done).

Keep up the good work Phil! (and yes, at times it does seem like kiteforum is full of sniveling euro bitches)
