jumped on the beach front in gusty WSW with a falling tide. somewhere around 4-6pm.

first on the beach front with CH15 no surf of any consequence.

very stable with the gust and wind switches on the beach and at about 1/4mile out super solid air. all handling well, quick and powerful. i felt very comfortable on this size, not overpowered at all. clam cleat worked like a charm on the fly,
the "GET ME BACK TO THE BEACH" power in the near beach hollow wind spots all but disappeared with the kites quick turning making up the difference.

gave a few full on jumps when the big puffs come in , kites all right there, no waiting, very direct feel , stable float out and all hooked up on the redirect and descent . and a few over shot landings with out trouble kite is super quick through the window to hook back up. it will flare out with over shots and recovers without any additional input. the bar pressure is at the PL intuitive level with out all the pressure, a welcome change for sure.

settings remain the same - tips, all the way out and the center is at half or so. the bar tips set to the narrow position(medium bar).

i am not one to fiddle with settings once light and heavy air rides are comfortable and stable. that would be for land and water.

i feel this CH 15 can give me land rides, ATB, starting around 7mph and on to the water around 12/13mph with a peak to about 35-40mph on the water at my weight. (200lbs.)

so far so good
