Your kite looked to be half the size of Eli's. What were they?

Cool video. Who is the band.?

Bob, not sure what size Yak GT Eli was flying 7m or 9m. Either way more than double the size of my 3m, so I was pleased with that bit of flying.
Cheezy, it is the Chilean folk band Inti Illimani.

It is worth pointing out that Scudley rides unhooked ( for hours and hours, day after day ) and Eli hooked in .

2 very different approaches by 2 riders I really respect.

Bob, Sean rides for SkyCountry and Eli for Ozone . Look them up ! :P;)

"stone him" I'm afraid if ya did that, he would never leave.

big kites and harnessed in make all the difference on the upwind leg. The ability to make a sweet upwind turn doesnt hurt either.
