OMG my wife flew a kite

Went to the lake today for some fun at the beach. It was a real light wind day, started at about 22km/h then died to about 12 with lulls. I played with the speed2 for a while doing some jumps (6 feet max off a tiny 3 foot hill, but felt awesome anyway). When it got low I pulled out the trainer. I was amazed when my wife came to me and asked to take over. It was real hard to keep the kite in the air, but surprisingly with a bit of instruction she kept it flying for 15 minutes, crashing only a few times. Maybe I'll be lucky and she'll get the bug and want to fly more often. I can only dream she gets hooked enough to come snowkiting this winter.:wee:

Always nice when the other half plays too. Mine loves static flying- the little sting sort of became hers,

I love when my wife comes out she won't even scare off her 2m samurai when its gusting over twenty she just sits in the grass and powers thru sliding and giggling all the way but the way she flies she is wore out after about fifteen minutes can't wait till she decides to try the buggy :lol:

When we were in Thailand, I was standing around waiting for big wind, shooting the breeze with the store guys then turned around to look out over the beach to see the wife waist deep in the water, harnessed to a wee 7m getting lessons ... I nearly passed out! "Sporty" to Mrs Kuza is putting down her Jane Austen long enough to find out why I'm screaming :lol:

She doesn't mind filming though which is nice ;)
