(1-800-827-6364) Subject: my damn wrist Hi folks..... It looks like this kite flyin' fool has a problem, I purchased a Quadrifoil 25, lines, and handles... yeah , you say... so whats the problem? Well let me tell ya.. I love the power and pull of my 6 and 8 foot flexifoils, and I was looking for a new toy...I wanted to try a quad line . the nice man at the kite store said this would be the best of both worlds, so down goes the visa... and off i go with a new toy....on my ass that is! you see the problem is that i have a problem with my wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome to be exact)... to be blunt, i simply do not have the strength i once had in my wrists, and i'm stuck with a new kite (under 1 hr. in the air)... So if you live in the Rhode Island area and would like to purchase a new quadrifoil, or perhaps trade for a kite that I could use,( at this point i'm still fine with the pull of a flexifoil...and i'm still looking to try a quad line, without a lot of pull ) I would love to hear from you ... send E-Mial to LoveDwarf@aol.com and we can strike a deal. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Sun, 2 Apr 1995 10:11:11 -1000 From: andrew@tug.com (Andrew Beattie) Message-Id: Organization: /usr/lib/news/organisation Subject: Re: my damn wrist lovedwarf@aol.com (Love Dwarf) writes: > It looks like this kite flyin' fool has a problem, I purchased a >Quadrifoil 25, lines, and handles... yeah , you say... so whats the >problem? >is that i have a problem with my wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome to be >exact)... to be blunt, i simply do not have the strength i once had in my >wrists, and i'm stuck with a new kite (under 1 hr. in the air)... All might not be lost. See if you can borrow a set of Peter Lynn 4-line dead-man handles. They let you safely use a backstrap to take the strain off your wrists. They are kinda expensive - so I suggest you try before you buy... Andrew -- New to rec.kites?
