Should have used your "red door"

That's not bad considering I have a tendency 2 b a collector ??
There are some cross overs certainly but all have their place . . .

I reckon its the kite I've been using the most. Usually I love my 11m Cabo.

But if I spend time in Hawaii or WA, then I'm all about my 7m.
