A new post on the 'Clique, I'm enjoying this type of flying - I hope some of you give it a go.

Nice article!

Another alternative could be the Level One Reloaded. Also a very capable kite and great on short lines.

Brilliant article. Very helpful. I love throwing a Rev around in 30's in the street but 2 lines are another kettle. Thanks.

At least the walk of shame (contemplation) is short as well....

Big kites can work too, we used to fly Strangers on 20'~30' lines. A tight turn helped but you just did different tricks, ground work etc.
There was something incredibly satisfying about a flatspin that seemed to be inches from your face.

Yeah, you're right and I get what you're saying.

I've flown a SKD Seven (SUL) on 30ft and its 7.75ft.

I'd just much prefer to flying something a little smaller with more window and margin for error.

I'll amend the post later to state better its my personal preference.

Thanks
