when i left my house it was blowing NW 18-20mph and it continued to build a little more after I got there. After I got home I checked windonthewater.com again and the closest weather station to where I was at said it topped out at 22mph Gusting to 26mph during the time I was out there.

I had the phantom pretty depowered when I was on the water because I'm still figuring out where the best spot is to set the cam cleat at on my below the bar trimmer. It's really hard to get it set to the right spot so I basically depowered the kite a bunch and forgot about messing with it. having an SLE bar is great for the phantom though. I love having such a huge amount of bar travel!

Thanks, this is what I was using.

I have one of those mounted on top of a Pro-Tec Wake helmet.

I want to try and play with how I have it angled so that maybe I can get the kite and the board in the shot for future use.

also I really really want to figure out how to mount the camera on the kite. I've seen some youtube footage of that and it looks friggen sweet!
