I need Speed!
Took the Speed 1.5 17m out today ... supposed to be around 8 to 10 knots (usually more at the beach, as opposed to the weather station) but apparently
is was 6 to 8 knots instead ...!
Got a few good rides out of it - when the Speed tips over that knife-edge of unpowered vs. powered, it's off like a bloody rocket and upwind you go!
Unfortunately the wind was #@%$#!e so I did a lot of walking  Mind you so did
the local mini-men.
I like the FS concept so far; LE down relaunches easy, fast and good upwind but it's s-l-o-w turning is a hassle
Strangely enough ... I want more :D
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

The speed kites are awesome. From what I've heard, they only got better with each years production. I'd be curious to see what you would think after
trying a Speed 2 and possibly a S3...

Don't tempt me you bugger ... I got to pay a couple of grand for moving house soon, and I got 6 weeks off work with minimal income too  I'd have a real good time explaining to the wife why I dropped the moving money on a
kite - especially when she looks in the kite cupboard :ticking:
