sun sun sun is all i can report... not much wind so no real testing of the kites.  ive been lazy to in regards to fixing the 5 broken kites.... as far as im aware 3 of my kites work....5 dont but 2 of the working kites need to be tested first to see if they actually are working. But i do have my main board sorted so i am sorta sussed for next session... bring on the wind. Another problem has been my job... harder to get time off now that im in Botany team... the flipside is that the money is better (due to more work of course hehe) so that means that when the need arises i should be in a better position to buy some more gear... but at da mo im more interested in fising my current gear as now that my boartd is working i should be covered for most conditions... hence i dont see the need to spend 3  grand on a new kite just yet.... which is good cos i dont have 3 grand at my disposal lols

I will need to test them but yes had some success with the quick defate valve on one of my 11m kites. this kite hasnt been worjing in several years and when it did work it was great for classic eastern beach conditions... steady winds in the 10-20 knot range. At the other end of the spectrum my top range kite is ready to test with a new set of bar and lines. This should have me ready for those 30 knot days. So i now have 3 kites that should work... and they are perfectly sized for the winds i kite in.... the biggest of course is my 21.5m which is strictly a light wind kite and only for steady benign days. it can be used up to 20 knots but is best in 10-15. for light and gusty days i can use my 17.5 which is quicker turning and can be used to 25 knots but that needs to be fixed. However the best news of all is that all my boards are working... this should give me much more wind range with any kite is use as the board that wasnt going was my general purpose board that could handle hi...
