fall enjoy wind and be safe message

[The Kite House]

I like to write this in the fall now each year, as i was out today on a 7 meter very very powered up. The summer winds which are moist, less dense and slow are gone. Which means in 17 knots if you rode a 14 meter in those humid and not so much punch winds, you will now be on a 10 and powered up. The winter winds are here, they are dense and pack a very strong organized punch when they fill your kite. So as we get huge winds and you think you can hold down a 12 meter kite in 25 knots, you are wrong and will get hurt. If you dont have a small kite, get a used one, borrow one or support you local shop. In the end , you will help yourself, bistanders, other kiters and your family in the long run. Every year i see this error in judgement and i feel it can be avoid.

just an fyi, enjoy it, but know your limits!
