Tiny, why are you kissing the killers goodbye? Surely if you get into trouble, you just unhook and then deploy said killers afterwards.

i didn't think they were redundant mate ??

Dazza, i believe the killers go once you get hooked in. from what i've read/heard makes life a lot easier to lose the killers, otherwise it could just end up in 1 tangled mess of lines.

Yeah not to much forecast for tommorow but enough an ideal time to practise with the new harness

Still just got to hope my low wind kite gets delivered today

I know. Haven't flown for about 5 weeks now.

Totally out of touch with it all and I fear it will be back to beginner stage again for me when I do finally get out again.

Sorry to hear about your OBE dude. Looks like we were right about the QR's!

I think the only people the QR's help are the Paramedics when they come to scoop you up lol.

You'll be fine mate, like riding a bike ya know. You gotta try and get out at least one day or even a couple of hours over the holidays mate.

Not the same being a man down
