Wife and I went out kite flying the other day, spent a good amount of time showing her how to fly (it was her 2nd time). She took a video as we were
leaving of my short downwinder at Balloon Fiest Park on 12/19/2014. Wind was 10mph when blowing, with gusts around 20, and many lulls with no wind
interspersed, which made this a bit of a challenge and led to my horrible form and crashed. Just a quick clip she took with her phone. Wind was
changing too much for something bigger/more appropriate for the steady wind/lulls. Had an PKD Brooza II 8M up for a bit, but it would luft then snap
to in the power zone, and I wasn't up for that.
Kite: HQ Beamer II 3.6M (10 years old, my first kite, and it's still kicking)
Board: MBS Comp 95X
