Hey Nimai! Yes, I remember meeting you at our campsite at Windfest. It was a great weekend with so many kite friends, regardless of wind or competition. I look forward to seeing you and your girlfriend again. Maybe at the Spit in Comox. Give a call when you are thinking of coming up :)

The forum is also a good place to ask questions about gear, or do a search and perhaps you'll find that your questions have ...
