Power kiting at the obx

pigryder - 24-6-2010 at 08:21 PM

Just got back sunday from this years summer vacation and like every year we went to the outer banks. I got addicted to power kiting a year ago when I purchased my Rush 200. I took my Hydra 350 I just got from Dakitez ;) and my wifes Beamer III 2m. You guys that get to fly on the beach are so lucky. The winds are sooo smooth I had so much fun flying and I flew the #@%$#! out of those kites!

A couple days the winds were probally 15-20 mph and the Hydra was loving it. Im pretty sure I had the smoothest feet after that day, I could have scudded forever.

I even got some sweet body drags in, man I ready for some kiteboarding!

and one more my son took with the Go Pro that I thought looked pretty cool

Hydra..... fun

I know what ya mean. The beach wind is a total different expereance.

I'll be headed back to the beach soon I hope.

Looks like you had a ton of fun. You are absolutely correct about beach winds - sometimes it feels smooth as butter. The photos look like Hatteras Island, down around Buxton. Love that place!

You are right chris, we stayed in Frisco behind the Rod and Gun, I've been going down to obx since I was barely a year old, I love it down there.
