You Canadians have a thing for one line kites, I have seen this at Sunset Beach a couple of times.:cool:
I hope everyone was OK.

Actually, Canucks have a thing for SIX line kiting! ;-)
(Be grateful you didn't run into THIS guy!)

:sniff: I was hoping to see an Alfred Hitch#@%$#! revival starring the Canadian version of the Cassowary.



Glad there didn't seem to be any damage to your flying lines.

ATB,

Ray will tie you up in a heart beat and then kick you while your down :smilegrin: No he's a good guy.
Being a long time giant kite disply guy at fests I think the wind was disturbed by the foil and delta style kites really hate that stuff. And like a nesting swan will attack what ever is causing it!!

GP looks like a blast!
aside from the attack of the single line.

Way to ride Buddy
See ya soon!

For the first few years the only thing Ray would say to me was that I was " in the wrong park " ( Vanier park ) . Fortunately as he saw I respect his show and flow with the crowd he warmed up to me. Such a great pilot !

Very lucky that little think didn't slice your lines !

Even more lucky to be getting out in the winds we are having !

Ride on ! :wee:

I don't think any damage to my lines, but pretty hard to tell.
K2, it was pretty good out there yesterday - 29 kts SSW (eat your effing heart out) with gusts to 35. Even the 2m was was hard on the arms until I slackened off the AoA. Did you meet Ryan on Sunday, guy with the two Jojos? He was out with some kind of land sailor, first I have seen at Garry Point. He may a bit disappointed with the wind next time he comes out.

Yup Met Ryan.
The kiteboarding Kiwi's name is Greg. Nice to see some new faces? I can tell that Greg will be a real natural . Ryan likes to switch things up.

My kind of people ! :cool2:

YES , SUPER bummed about missing out. It's been windy every day this week. Weekend ... not so much :ticking:
