Kite Fishing

[Mr kite flyer]

This is my favourite kite. The Monster Kite from http://www.hiflykites.co.za This kite i use the most, 5km to 20km per hr wind, any higher you can go sking with it. No tail needed, but i some times add a small drogue 2m behind it which gives the kite more pull and makes it even more stable when tacking into the wind, i have had it close to 50 degrees. Takes 20 secs to set up and a match stick to tack it, you do this by puting a catspaw knot in the bridle rope the opposite side you want to tack the kite, and up you go for a quick test run. i will put some pics on other kites some from New Zealand at a later stage.

I dont like long tails on a kite especially on the rocks they tend to get in the way for me anyway.
