So Friday was a good day for west wind at Southwick. A bit light at less than or up to 10 mph, or so. I flew the 7M NPW9, and had a blast! Here's some video of the fun. Camera was the Tachyon XC Micro helmet cam, Music is by Roomful of Blues, That's my life.

Looks like you are dodging trees on that beach on that really tight beach. It gives me hope that I might find somewhere to try something more than static flying where I live.

Very nice Bob. Here the only time the wind blows is when I am at work. Plus it's been 90+ for the last week and no wind:( So I'm jelous of your 10mph

I don’t think I’ve commented on the music threads here, I like what I like. But for that video, :thumbup:

@acmb, the"best kept secret" in the east, that beach has been in past years, twice as wide as it is now! It can be a challenge, but ya gotta work with what ya got!
@roc- ya, it was about 88deg F, with that light west breeze. Don't know if you could see, but going low around the piece of driftwood would get me a nice soaking! FUN!!
@labrat, Roomful of Blues, a Providence,RI club band, some of the best toe tappin' ever. Was reminded of them when indigowolf posted a link to an online jam with them in NH last weekend, and was reminded of hearing them in the '70's at Misquamicut Beach, they still rock, although with new faces.
@WELDNGOD, ya, but a real purty "rag" it is! If all works out, I'll be there!

The beach looks a whole lot better than it did the last time. Nice vid Bob.
