19M Boys Club
The 19m Boys Club
"Holding it down, since 20 knots!"
I'm sure it's open to gurlz too...
Was blowing fifteen knots today when I hit the water with the 19 Charger. When I came off it was blowing 20 knots with higher gusts. Talk about
feeling light on your feet. Was the first time in a long time I asked someone to help land the kite. Guy was a LEI flyer, so whenI asked I told
him to grap the spar on the edge.. he goes and grabs the kite like a LEI, so I popped the safety and it's flopping around and he has this bewildered
look on his face...
Was a fun day on the water.. overpowered, but fun. This mean I'm a member now?
What do you do with your foils?
Charger 8, 12, 19
Scorpion 10, 16
And other foils...

Was perfect weather. Around 80 degrees and blowing 20 knots... Water felt good as well with just a short wetsuit on.

you are doing better than me but then maybe then I guess that the 19m Speed 2.5 is quite a bit different than a 19m Charger. Funny, cause this whole
time I thought Kami was talking about a his silver arrow and not an arc.

Speed2 19 in 20 knots? I think I've been close but it's not fun for my beginnerness - unlike the 19m Synergy which was rockin'!
... it was kind of a joke that those among us who are ahem gravity challenged tend to go out with the biggest kites we can while everyone else is on
tiddlers :D I guess I can change the title though 
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Kami... my 190 lbs was gravity challenged with a 19m Charger. I could barely feel the pull of the earth... but definetly feel the pull of the wind.

Thats good, I was feeling like maybe I needed to step up and rock a 19m in 20kts but there just was no way.
