Put on my SB harness, hooked up the Turbo Bar and gave the beamer a go. Sure makes turns fast! Nice piece of kit.

Nice job for first time out.

I see you are in Green Bay. There are a few of us down here in Appleton if you ever want to fly with other addicts.

Yea that was great, no way could I fly like that the first time but you have it going on.

Was that your first time out, or your first video?
Either way it was a good workout for you I bet. Keep it up.

That was actually my first video, but I've been flying since this past winter. Still kinda new to the power kite thing. The beamer has been an extremely nice kite to learn on. I can say that I am completely comfortable with this kite so far. Did some skiing with it on the local lakes on the windier days this winter. The video was simply to show how well the Turbo bar performs. Due to problems with Ozone, I waited two months to get my SB harness and three months before the bar showed up on my door. Angus from Coastal Wind Sports said it was one of the longest back orders he has ever had to deal with. I can say that it really did test my patience! It had nothing to do with Angus, just the way Ozone has been doing business, I guess.

Thanson: Didn't realize there was any of us in the Fox Valley to speak of. I know there is a loyal following in the Madison area, but thats too long of a haul on short notice. Nice to know there are others around. Feel free to Email me if your ever planning an outing. I'm kind of an oldtimer compared to some, but have lots of enthusiasm.

@cheddarhead... uhhh, the crowd I am flying with is mostly over 50. We just don't behave like old timers!
