Power kiting at the obx


Just got back sunday from this years summer vacation and like every year we went to the outer banks. I got addicted to power kiting a year ago when I purchased my Rush 200. I took my Hydra 350 I just got from Dakitez ;) and my wifes Beamer III 2m. You guys that get to fly on the beach are so lucky. The winds are sooo smooth I had so much fun flying and I flew the #@%$#! out of those kites!

A couple days the winds were probally 15-20 mph and the Hydra was loving it. Im pretty sure I had the smoothest feet after that day, I could have scudded forever.

I even got some sweet body drags in, man I ready for some kiteboarding!

and one more my son took with the Go Pro that I thought looked pretty cool

Hydra..... fun

Looks like you had a ton of fun. You are absolutely correct about beach winds - sometimes it feels smooth as butter. The photos look like Hatteras Island, down around Buxton. Love that place!
