ProFoil 1.5mē Vs. 25-30kts winds

Well its official (At least for this Ole Man) 25-30knot winds are my limit as far as this little kite goes... Could hardly hold onto it (12:00 noon), L O N G scuds in the grass, with hardly ANY figure 8's through the zone, Just skimming the zone, & trying to HOLD ON...

Little buggers like that are scary in big winds!!! They're so small and fast that they'll get shed loads of power all of a sudden cause a gust and the suprise of all makes it a bit AHHHH!!! lol.

Sounds like fun tho!! A big open beach may have been nicer?

Beastie; No Doubt, when you've got that little amount of material in the air & you cant hold it down, hardly control it & it WANTS & is ABLE to lift you (even just a little) just sitting at the zenith... While FULL BRAKES just piss it off & flip it upside down with full power aimed AT the ground... In Those Winds...

You know its time to bring it down, with FULL KITE KILLERS!!!
