I just put together this very amateur video, and I'm still very much a beginner landboarder, but I just thought I'd share it with you all anyway!
Twister II 5.6m, winds between 10 and 16mph.

Enjoy!

dang dude that's a nice field.......looks like you've got a ton of space and a not so bumpy field 
jcisbig - 17-6-2011 at 05:15 PM
Seriously, I feel very fortunate to have a field like that so nearby! It's less than a mile from my house!

Nice boarding too!

Get that girl out in the 20s...... Good times!
:bouncy:
Good vid, ive been in your shoes many happy times!

Pulsar, I live about 2 hours north of Seattle.
Drew, 20+ mph sounds fun! Higher winds would certainly help improve those pitiful "jumps" at the end of the vid!

Make sure you are comfortable with that kite, lol its spanked me a few times when I wasnt paying attention in those winds! invest in a helmet too!
its always good to have one, but if you are pushing the upper limits of a kite, and jumping... Pretty much a mandate at that point!
Btw, how much do u weigh? Im 230ish. If you are about my weight the 20s will be the sweet spot after you really get a feel for that kite... If your
like 175, that may turn into a beast in the 20s!
Either way, keep the videos coming! kite pron is always welcome lol!

I'm a tad over 200, and from what I've experienced so far, the upper teens is where things really start to get exciting for me. I also work with
youth a lot, so it's been fun to teach them how to fly on my smaller Beamer 3.6 and then give them a go on the Twister! A few of them are making
their way into landboarding and enjoying the Twister in the 10 to 15mph range!
I'm not awesome at the whole video thing, but I'll try to keep them coming!

Looks like you are having fun. I could use a good session. I saw Washington but was bummed when I saw Lynden is in the opposite corner from Pasco.
If the wind is nice enough you might get some Canadians to show up at your field.
