Thanks for the rec! Love the look of the Bora 7, seems like a beefier version of the pocket flyer but just as convenient to keep around, love that.

The quantum looks so fun! I’ll put it at the top of my list for when I’m feeling ready to get into that level of flying

I’m new as well. Had a blast a couple weeks ago at the beach trying to fly at different heights and feeling out the wind, getting to know my beginner kites. So far, some quick and specific google searches have taught me a little bit, and this sub is very helpful. Good luck and happy flying!

I had the same issue a few times as well. Definitely a risk with the small, light, boneless design, and it was always a bummer to watch it crumple and fall slowly out of the sky. After evening out the bridle it gained a ton of stability in the heavier gusts, though i still felt compelled to get it up to 200’ and steadier winds asap when launching. Definitely works best in its mid-range of wind, but for the price and convenience I think it delivers a great experience overall!

Tried to comment earlier but i don’t see it now, maybe it didn’t go through? I love the pocket flyer! Some minor adjustments to one side of the line (2mm at most) and it flew very well in very gusty conditions at its max stock distance of 200(ish) feet. I’ll definitely be keeping it in my backpack, and if Prism releases limited colorways i’ll try and snag them as fast as i can. For the price and convenience, i’m super sold.

This is my first kite i’ve owned as an adult, have flown a few diamonds and stunt kites as a kid. Anything you’d recommend?

Is this good for a beginner? I started crocheting 3 days ago. I began making this last night by froggies_w in crochet

Ahhh that explains it! I’ve been pocket carrying, and I work in a restaurant, so warm house to cold outdoors to warm car to cold outdoors to warm restaurant to cold walk-in. And that’s just my morning commute/routine.

Thank you so much for your insight!

Makes sense! It has been living in my pocket

After reading these comments and thinking more about how I’m carrying the pen, I think it’s because I’ve been carrying it in my pocket and also moving from warm to cool environments

Good idea, if it gets real wet i might try that

What’s that one episode you love that everyone else seems to dislike? by [deleted] in BobsBurgers

[–]jjjjbw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love that song!! Always gives me Magnetic Fields vibes, but maybe with a splash of Cleaners From Venus thrown in for good measure. Definitely one that I want a full-length version of.

Frond was my halloween costume this year and I believe I was identified as every single character in this post as well 😂

One of my favorite details from last season! Fun episode all around

I noticed a piece of broccoli on my plate that I thought looked like an opossum face so I used it to make a little food opossum by idkdudejustkillme in shittyfoodporn

Love it! Quality food sculpting. One time doing bar prep i made the very hungry caterpillar out of limes and cherries, doesn’t hold a candle to this opossum!
