Oh yeah, this guy at 1:30 and 3:15! :lol:

I think I still have his number in my old cell phone. Wonder what ever happened to him?

Don't recall if this was the fall bash last year, or the year before that (might have been two years back), but there was a certain individual flying a 5m Beamer III on handles while trying to landboard. His stance was not very good, and he eventually went over on his stomach. Kite powered up and dragged him straight into the water... he kept flying the kite, but eventually crashed it leading edge down into the water right before he went in... head first.

As I recall, he was fine, just soaked from head to toe. Kite was fine too, though a wee bit wet...

Definitely wasn't last fall. We didn't have any days where the wind was blowing towards the water.

From the sound of your post blue, It is going to be fun getting some video of you racking up some air time!

It's not about the air as much the style - of which I have none :smug:

But I was happy to learn these last weekend considering it was my first weekend on a landboard in a year and only 2nd in 18months
