As far as LW kites go I'd probably look at the new 17m OR Flight or the 15.5m LF Solo. I hear you can't fly the solo 15.5 on it's back though which would be rather annoying. Big kites cost so much $$$ though compared to the little ones. I'd also like to get a foil too and that's big $$$ yet again.

Yes. Bellingham has amazing deals. You should check out the LF Foil Fish Combo for only $1800. I think r_decman demo'd it at Locust and got up on the first day.

I think the ideal setup would be the Slingshot Alien Air + the LF foil. Stringy says he thinks they have the same bolt pattern. I'm not a fan of the kitefish at all but the durability and price of the LF foil looks great.

With the dollar in the shitter though you pay 25% more for everything now :S

Heads up Saturday at Crescent I got four swimmers itch's. Two per ankle below my wetsuit, under my booties. Sonova bitch, I thought that was a summer only thing. :cry: I didn't get any all last year until late July...
