I knew the title would peek your interest. Here's a quick montage of pbc playing around on a lovely day @ Anastasia. Yours truly injured himself and thus played cameraman for the day. At least I got a ride out and back!

I played on a ledge there just like that 5 years ago. That beach is second only to Jekyll Island for me. It has the benefit of being almost desolate as you work your way north. Nice riding Phillip!

Phil was ripping it up !! What kind of bar was that..? It looks homemade...

Indeed it is homemade. Everything but the chicken loop is constructed. Philip has been iterating on making better bar parts slowly but surely. First it was a better stopper, more depower, better safety, modified chicken loops, etc. Soon I think we'll be able to construct a bar from scratch. This probably deserves its own post at some point.

@Beamerbob, you are welcome back anytime! And yes I agree. Anastasia has the nice wide open beach available year round. Having just the one beach access on the end helps immensely with insuring this even in the peak of summer. Jekyll on the other hand is monstrously wide and has some interesting features, though you do have to share it with others :-) It gets really crazy at the peak of summer, limiting how much you can kite.

Really good video, I've watched it a few times now.
