SKETCH'S (Shultzie-exiled in Gig Harbor's FIRST POST

[Sketch]

Thanks Micheal for your response about this amazingly beautiful HQ CHROME sport kite....\

I was so BLOWN AWAY after I saw this kite that just LAST NIGHT...I E mailed Melanie and Kathy Goodwind with a message that
"I didn't just WANT that new CHROME kite...but I NEEDED AND HAD TO HAVE that new CHROME KITE!
Every year about this time....(I try to give a birthday present to MYSELF) and usually its a brand new kite. Last year I screwed up a tad...and ordered a FOXY looking brand UL kite (that turned out to be lead-sled, instead of a UL!)
THIS YEAR...UNTIL I RECEIVED THE NEWS...THAT MY THOUGHTS OF A NEW CHROME KITE..turned out to be a kite that should be renamed "GOLDEN PLATIUM" instead.
$400.00 is just too much an impact on my tattered 401K and dwindling retirement fund. Instead my upcoming income tax contributions and medical co-payments have put my brand new HQ PLATIUM-GOLD CHROME KITE on the ol' burn barrel.
HOWEVER...I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP, as I do have a great re-plan in mind....
Gig Harbor Wa. is noted to be a retirement bedroom for the retired-mega wealthy retired ol toots...and with that in mind. I will go down to Goodwill and pickup some shappy looking clothing...rub a little dirt n' grime on my face...find an old piece of weather beaten cardboard...take one of my old charcoal drawing sticks and scrawl a sign reading somethin like
"WILL TEACH KITE TRICKS FOR FOOD or A BRAND NEW HQ CHROME KITE...GOD BLESS!"

I then will pick out the Gig Harbor's longest backup Exit...to stand there holding and waving that sign.
(That longest auto commute back up exit traffic light ...just so happens to be the infamous PURDY EXIT
which is just walking distance to my favorite local kite beach.

Hi!

Thanks for posting and sharing your photos with us! Here is some information about the new “Chrome” for you:

Chrome

Width: 234 cm / 92"
Height: 90 cm / 35"
Material: Icarex
Wind range: 1,5-5 Bft. (7-38 km/h I 5-24 mph)

With a highly modern sail cut and a very stiff frame, the Chrome impresses in the radical free-style sector. Wildly, but still very well traceable, it blusters through all modern trick sequences showing an ease which appears nearly unbelievable. And by the way, it seduces with a unique design. Only uncompromising most noble components have been systematically used for the construction materials. This combination of attractive flight performance and top-quality materials gives the Chrome, without any exaggeration, an aura of uniqueness in its class. But the Chrome has not been developed for tricks parties and professionals only, also ambitious intermediates should not hesitate to try it.

All the best!

Michael
