Oh yeah I got two of those. I still have a 28m and 26m C-kite in my basement. I will take one out one of these days but need help pumping it up.

we've seen this post a few

we've seen this post a few times before... I've said it before and I'll say it again. 100-200m kite kiteloops = the future of green boating! not for the faint of heart.
