I say this because as summer approaches, I think the winds pretty much go away. Bummer, in that I am not getting into this; and I want WIND!!!!!
Now; with that said. When I flew the kites (3 singles / 1 Pyro XS) last Thursday, rain was on the way from Arkansas. It never got to us in the Memphis area (or just a little did), but the wind was present. It was joyous!!
Now; I live 48 miles from downtown Memphis. And; downtown Memphis lies right next to the mighty Mississippi River. I am told, and I cannot confirm this yet, that it is usually quite breezy down at Tom Lee Park (which is right on the river).
This could be my summer salvation.

Sounds like you need an Ultra light kite....

Possibly! But; if it requires me to keep going backward to keep it in the air, I doubt, I will find much fun in that.
What do you recommend, Dodd?

I am not saying that you wont have to back up at all, but the thing that fliers seem to like about the Desire, is that if you have just a bit of wind, you dont have to move at all. Of course that does depend on your skill level to a cerain degree.....The kite is designed to easily be flown in very low winds without much movement required.
Hope that helps
