RI Kite Freak - Email me. I too kite fogland and although I live in central MA. Since there are so few of us - what kite do you fly? We are getting into snowkitting this winter. There is a good lake in our area dennis@telecom800.com

I have been riding for one summer and am lookig for a foil kite that would also be good on the water. The Psycho 9.3 has been suggested to me as a possibilty as it has enormous depower and good saftey set up. Would a Warrior or Arc be better?

I spent a week on St Martin. Orient Bay is where all the crowds are but if you are going with someone they would probably prefer Orient as there is nothing at Gallion.

The liberty Jacket works great. Big pocket up front for the lead plates that windsurfers use on speed trials competition where you can keep various saftey items. Its compact and easy to forget you have on. American Windsurfer (the mag) was selling them.

Ditto on the Pro Limit quick release spreader bar. I think it works great but imagine the sinking feeling when, after a couple of sessions, I could not release it unless I hit the leaver with a hammer!! There was a bur on the post that was hanging up the lever. I simply filed that down and it works ...

My buddy had a hard crash on his three month old F-one Magic 12 meter kite today and the entire main panel just exploded and ripped out from the seams. What gives? Is this par for the course for a hard crash?
Thanks
