check it out folks , best of the weekend, Sunday 1-7pm

could not have been done without 4 liters of water, the heat was incredible.

bike ride @ 12 to check the scene

heavy crowds , light air and flat water(somewhat to start) took a walk for opening ride dragging the supercharged dump truck beauty, one Venom 16 & sprint 140. solo ride for almost 2hours

like holding hands with a giant, this thing powers me for nearly 3 hours. what a work out ! forgot how intense the bar pressure could be. BTW this kite series and size is the bench mark of stability. comparatively its big and slow but big sky jack rides it knows...and so does everyone on the beach.

@4pm switched to the SK 13m ExA and raged on.

first 2 kite session for me in a while. looked something like this.

could be the last of it, the heat is really welling

really wanted a solid foil ride and then jump to the tube.

both kites on the water come alive about the same wind, the v16 may be on 1-2knots earlier. note the sunrise pause in the chart.

Nice!

I've been putting bottles of water in the freezer then taking them down to the water and letting them sit ... they slowly melt over the days and provide a good supply of fresh, ice cold fluid :) you can buy 'sports' drink frozen here in the same manner but is way too sweet ...
