First Kite, Tensor 5.0

acartier1981 - 19-6-2010 at 01:11 PM

Here is my first, well first time out with a camera, with my Tensor. Being my first kite I have nothing to compare it to but as light as the winds were I managed to make it pull pretty hard. It was also quite stable when I brought it to the edges, managed to keep it up even with the breeze barely blowing for a while. The video is at 2x speed cause it was rather slow. First time I put a video up as well so I couldnh't figure out how to get a soundtrack with it.

Nice looking kite. And I'm sure there are many on here that can explain how to add a sound track.
They keep trying with me but I'm hopeless with it :puzzled:

Looks good man! :thumbup:

Time for a buggy now :lol:

Nobody's gonna say anything about the skills???? :wow: kidding A little more practice and I'll find someone with a buggy to borrow. Would have to be a lot more wind for this thing to pull one though.

For just getting started, you're doing well :thumbup:

Rule of thumb is, if its enough kite to pull you around when flying static, a buggy will roll :)

Keep rockin it bro!

I was out for my first time with the same kite. It was blowing 10 and I was getting air. I tried a landboard for my first time ever. I'm still trying to figure out how to do that, check out my post about it

Well it finally happened, it was about 10 mph and I was doing fine, then a 15 or 20 mph gust came in. Got tea bagged for the first time, ouch. I think it was more where I had the kite, I was bring it up at a 45 across the power zone when it hit. Luckily all I have is a bruised leg.
