Rubin Len10 was at the sandbar at around 2:00 p.m. throwing down casual sick-azz handle pass airz in the pond until it started raining. It then went dead calm and predictably came back and built to almost acceptable conditions (if you don't count the mega-gusts, the micro-lulls, the changing wind direction and menacing clouds.) I managed to get a session, but it wasn't exactly quality. At one point I was in the middle of the river with the kite in the water, no wind and the flushing current doing its thing. Just as I thought all hope was lost and started to swim over to the kite, I got my rogue mega-gust and got her in the air. I was lucky.

I talked to a dude at the company, here's some interesting info:
- The compressor will drain a regular car battery in 1 minute if you run it non stop, but he recommended some giant batteries you can get that will run if for about 15 minutes straight. Daisy chain a couple...
- He said you could easily add a 30-40 gallon air tank to the setup and fill it to 150 psi. From that you could fill a bunch of kites, tank is like a big capacitor. He said it could fill the tank in 5 minutes.
- The compressor runs at over 10 cfm at low PSI, same as shop air compressor!
Now we just need to figure out how much solar we need.

If this could run off of a car battery, it should be good for batteries backed by solar panels right?
