First Scuds

Nothing to new here for most of you.....but I felt compelled to share my first scuds with my friends. The scuds are courtesy of a Peter Lynn Twister 7.7 provided by Big Mikes Kites.

What a thrill!! I remember a few months back when a 4m felt like too much. Now I just want more!!!

Thanks...that was before the month of no rain here in south Texas. It was wet to so I got to cheat a little. Great fun though.....

I wish you guys were here to enjoy with!!!

It is good to get in the practice of walking back with the kite off to one side. If a gust hits it is far easier to control. At zenith you can get lofted with that kite pretty easy ! ( I'm starting to miss mine )

If you don't have a harness it would be a good next investment !

It's great to see a video.

Keep having FUN !

I do have a harness....I am just still a little conservative about hooking into it with that kite. It has got some serious ummmpphhh!!!

Even at the edge I have gotten in a bind trying to hold it back...course it was gusting about 15 that night...I am trying to take it easy with it but I have already been snatched off of the ground.

Very fun and LOTS of lift!! It was hard to believe the difference in pull at the zenith!
