Buck Lake, 1 January, 3.5m Pansh Adam, when you lose a ski on a small jump....lol

Ah, those damn snowsnakes, and the way they like to attack bindings.... ;)


looks like a beautiful day!

Love it! :thumbup:

What was the wind speed?

Are those regular length skis or short?

Wow.....the snow looks great out there! Wind was howling here all day yesterday but for some reason I was compelled to pull out our old countertops on the 31st and the project carried over to the 1st. I suspect that you had similar winds for a ride like that on the Adam.

They just twintip park models, 170cm. No stakes to be seen, loaded up to jump the wind ridge in the snow and left a ski behind. Did well to land on one ski but ate it....lol

Mac, you need to come out to Buck, my neighbour started kiting a few days ago but handling kites super good!

Wind speed was around 25 - 30kmph , I was on a 3.5m Adam foil as per video and it had plenty of power

Not staKEs, sNakes! I blame those little bastards for every time I've lost a ski. ;)

Great news about finding a kite buddy!

It is so much nicer to share the day with somebody.

Looks like you have improved enough to turn up the tension just a touch on your bindings ? The shop probably started with them dialed way down for you starting out ?
