had my first ATB session today

Just wanted to share that I finally got out on my board up at Fort Flagler behind the Pulse 2 12m.

the evening started out with kinda light wind but right around 6pm the thermal coming in from the coast finally hit.

managed to get a couple small jumps in. only landed about half of them and I have the grass stains to prove that I didn't land the rest.

definitely had one big 10ft ish lofty jump that officially sent my addiction to kiteboarding to a new level :spin:

I can totally relate man. I have just started landboarding as well and am loving it.

Still have a lot to learn and have only tried on my Blade so far but I'm itching to get out on my Bul's especially as my 16m arrived yesterday:singing:

The weather is not playing the game here this weekend though so its gonna have to wait:mad:

hi...

sounds like a nice session...

did you ride ATB much before w/o the kite?

were you already comfy on skateboards or something like that -- and much crossover learning from the water boarding? :ninja:

hope you don't mind the Q's, I've got a really small kite area, but I keep thinking of giving it a try...

cheers,

furbo

one of the things i love about kiting is the way the learning curve seems to stretch up into the sky no matter where you are on it!:smilegrin::lol:
