A 12m C in that situation is a very bad idea.
It was gusting to 35 at TI. That would have really bad. Hybrids can depower SO much more, it's night and day. |

So true Scott. I love my Flexifoil Atoms and IONS. It makes having a 2 kite quiver a reality.

If you really meant disconnect then the broken buckle was just an inconvenience, but the lack of ability to kill the kite or release it is a problem you need to get sorted out asap. Worst case... imagine what would have happened if you got tangled in a crab trap and pulled under water? How quickly could you have released the kite? Most people don't realize that if they get tangled in a crab trap, they are going under water in about 4 seconds and STAYING there as the kite pulls the float down wind. Make sure you can ditch the kite in about 2 seconds with your eyes closed (by feel only). |

Yep, 2 kites. I remember when I had 5. Even then... changing them (due to changing conditions) or guessing the right one to rig was a drag.
