Mood: low winds here I come

Yeah! I really really really want to know what its like to glide through the air at heights larger than 5 feet and farther than 30 feet lol. My biggest jump was on my first flight with my scorp when I jumped while on a small 20 foot high hill and I ended up coasting about 4 feet above the ground to the bottom, best feeling ever thus far. Yeah Kami that Jesus walk would be amazing to pull off. Even better to do it with a bit of an audience on the beach so that you can bask in the glory for a bit cuz I have the luck that I would only do it once then the rest of the time I would plow face first in the water:lol:

My biggest dream would be to glide around in the air with such control like Chasta does. He makes it look so easy but I know better that he has put a lot of time learning that I have years before I can even ride like he does. Not to mention that his sponsorship has brought him places that I will never be able to go.

Having a wife and kids definitely has made me think about what I'm doing before each time I pull the kites out. I want to go big but I don't want to go to the hospital. For now I just love being able to ride in a straight line and come back the same way, the rest will come with time I'm sure. The push kiting boys really make it look fun though.



what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

The feeling of jumping is a great one, and ya get a sense of accomplishment like wow im awesome kind of thing :D Oh and its bordering dangerous and fun, adrenaline and risk, its all fun.
For me atm im fairly new to landboarding but for example, for now i just want to cain up and down all day long and doing a jump if i can here or there, im looking to go fast as ive had alot of experience static jumping but going fast on the board is much more fun for me right now.
The other day the wind was onshore and good, i opted to leave the depower in the bag and go up and down on the FB and handles, i just went up and down all day long, didnt even think about jumping tbh, i was watching the guys jumping though as i was inbetween two other kites lol, one behind one in front, a huge venom and an Instinct, was awesome watching them whilst i was toodling up and down the green.
I did however nearly get killed by the 4.5 ace a few times static, 15ft pendulums :D
