hi all, bought a scrub silver reef at the wirral kite fes but didn't get enough wind for more than acouple of meters of pull with my 3m buster on grass, had lots of fun and blood riding the board downhill though( i'm 35 you know:duh::tumble:). i'm trying to find a good site for tips on flying long beam and close reach(whatever that means) and generally, how to stop falling off & stuff

a 3m will pull you over grass when u ride in 12-15 knots of wind, but I've done some downhilling too and my scars say that if u do, WEAR PADS

first thing i did when i got the feeling back in my hand was order a set!
