All stuff happens in life with many things anyway...
Look at Gas Mileage...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/0 ... 63626.html
In many ways we just figure it all out in time...
In the end we just want better gas mileage from our cars and better lightwind performance in our kites to be able to kite more and have more fun.
I'm working on stuff to go lighter too and looking for what's next?
Looked like a friendly competative low wind kite challenge even top kiters learn things... we're all human... The easiest thing to do is to reduce a number in a flash! I guess when it gets so low.... The best is just to be out there and see what happens to the kites and gear. I learned how low I could go only from being out there with other Customers now that are getting good and with kiters on raceboards...
hmmm I have to get going on making these longer Flyrace fins...!
On the kite side, it's just what kite will stay up in the lightest air and have the most power...
Even with all this below. Paragliders deals with it Balloonists Gliders.... etc no kiters....

Also look into nature and weather....
I saw some better Illustration before but this can show why at times near land the wind feels so light... or even nothing... or maybe go out to far and wind drops...
Hmmm
Stand on the beach in hardly any wind (#3 Picture) and heat from the sand.
Kite in (#2Picture)
Maybe drop the Kite in (#7Picture)
Once you figure that out a few times you don't read your meter anymore. You just put up a kite and try... That's what I do now... Man in 2004 we all waited for whitecaps....
