Hi all. My names Dallin and I'm pretty new to the kiting sports.
I've got a lot of experience in board sports (snow, wake, skate, mountain) but almost 0 experience with big ass kites, though I was very comfortable flying a 3m trainer kite I use to have. The one experience I had with my c-kite was getting on plain, only to have one of the lines become disconnected.
I'm interested in land/snow/water kiting, but am pretty limited on gear, and don't have a lot of money to blow on new stuff. Currently I have a 2006 slingshot 16m 5-line c-kite, kiteboard & snowboard. I plan on getting an 11 or 12m bow or hybrid kite to reduce my windspeed limitations. I've tried to go out a few times but haven't been able to get the right conditions or company.
I'd really like to make some friends from this board so I can have people to go out with (that have a kite) and who either know what they're doing, or are quickly learning. However, I believe I'm limited to wind conditions of about 8-15mph.
During the week I'm free from about 5pm on, or 3pm if I know the day beforehand. I'm also free during the weekends. I will be in the SL valley for the next three weeks, but will be gone for a month after (starting 4/20). If you'd be interested in going out together or wouldn't mind a newb tagging along, hit me up. My cell's 801-897-0560.
Thanks,
Dallin
