Mood: low winds here I come
|

OMG my wife flew a kite
Went to the lake today for some fun at the beach. It was a real light wind day, started at about 22km/h then died to about 12 with lulls. I played
with the speed2 for a while doing some jumps (6 feet max off a tiny 3 foot hill, but felt awesome anyway). When it got low I pulled out the trainer. I
was amazed when my wife came to me and asked to take over. It was real hard to keep the kite in the air, but surprisingly with a bit of instruction
she kept it flying for 15 minutes, crashing only a few times. Maybe I'll be lucky and she'll get the bug and want to fly more often. I can only dream
she gets hooked enough to come snowkiting this winter.:wee:
what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

Always nice when the other half plays too. Mine loves static flying- the little sting sort of became hers,

When we were in Thailand, I was standing around waiting for big wind, shooting the breeze with the store guys then turned around to look out over the
beach to see the wife waist deep in the water, harnessed to a wee 7m getting lessons ... I nearly passed out! "Sporty" to Mrs Kuza is putting down her
Jane Austen long enough to find out why I'm screaming
She doesn't mind filming though which is nice
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
