28 Km winds and two full sections of land


Woke up to the sun shining and the winds blowing and loaded the truck up. Set out the Scorpion and geared up.
Winds were steady from the East and the kite filled nicely, strapped into the buggy and let her rip. Took a little time feeling out the fields put her in cruise and set back and made some crazy distance runs. I pod rocking away, scaring the hell out deer...lol
I like the way the Scorpion looks in the air, she was nice and tight and owning the wind that propelled her along. Sitting in about the 46 km range in cruise control was pretty sweet.
Well time to rip it up a bit, started pulling some sweet pendulum swings. Taking advantage of the terrain and hills, spent some incredible time in the air. Don't ask me how high, sure I really don't want to know but the ground coverage was insane.
Ground condition were pretty good, we didn't get the rain our southerly neighbors did and not that cold but can feel it coming again.
Still haven't found my helmet cam since the move and wife says its to cold to take pictures...lol
She always comes out and watches me, then tells me I have to up my life insurance again..
Now waiting for the Lakes to freeze up, ice fishing for Walleye and kiting...God I love Winter....:wee:

Sounds like a blast!

I have to start working on a set of blades for the ice. Would have loved to see some video of the terrain, what kind of camera do you have?

I've got one of the old helmet pro's, not bad but times have changed. The digital camera too, but hard to take pictures when your holding on for dear life...lol
