John,

Congratulations!!! May this wonderful union between the two of you bring many warm and smooth winds!

I am very happy for both of you!

I was just wondering after looking at the pic of the two of you flying, does this mean that the beautiful misses will be upgraded from the 1.5 SLE to a B-series?? From one married guy to another, you better make it a B-series Pro! :sign_kitelife:

Thanks Kent, and to all those who have chimed in since my last post. :)

Actually, she got a set (STD/VTD) of red/white B's about three weeks after that photo was taken in May. <grin>

Once she's made the move over, she'll be training up for iQuad and touring with us whenever possible.

As for the B-Pro, shoot, I don't even own one yet and it's my bloody kite! LOL

It's all good. ;)

I hope to see you at Delta park, and to meet the bride to be as well on New Years! Just one dumb ??? Is it on New years day or eve?

John...
Well done! You've had a lot of interesting journeys in your life; all of which has made you who you are today. You're a good man, Charlie Brown.... :kid_devlish: oops :kid_smartass: ... no, seriously, you are a good person right down to your core. I'm happy that you get to share the journey now with a very special person.
All the best of everything for the both of you; always.
Laura

So I wondering is there something in the water cooler in the KiteLife offices that is setting this off? :sign_kitelife:
Or maybe the iQuad team is drinking somekind of new vitamin water? :blue-music:
Either way, congrats to you John and Takako!
