*video* My first Flysurfer session ......


..... My first flysurfer arrive last week ( thanks Kamikuza ) and it was hard for me to work all week...... long hours with knowledge that FS is in my car waiting for first session ..... lol....
Finally last weekend ..... perfect wind for this monster .... new spot that is my favorite now ........ and companion of my pal Jaymz .......
No problem with setup and lunch ...... 10 min of static fly and another 10 making small jumps ......
...ok...... all good...... lets buggy ......
It is a bit different from all kites that I have and when riding in buggy it scare me few times when I pull bar in ...... wow ..... so big difference in power delivery ..... and that huge wing over my head with unusual for me shape .... blocking the sun and keeping me in its shadow ,,,,,,,........ totally new experience ......
.... later that day wind start blowing a bit more and I really start to feel overpowered on buggy ..... and then I realize that safety system involves leash that I did forgot to connect .....lol.....
After packing FS it was time to try Gin Yeti 13m that I purchase few months ago and never have chance to fly .....
....Somehow behavior of that one was more familiar and all wird feelings gone.....
....... Looks like that 13m is a prototype model with many bridle lines with knots ( probably for perfect tune search ) and older bar ..... however it did not make any problems for me at this session and it will be a good replacement of my Eskimo 14m...


Here is video from that happy session .......

@B-Roc......
1 Flysurfer ....... vs 9 Gin kites ...... I am not qualified to be traitor

that's exactly what I was thinking! you've got the kite to do it, and it will give some sweet float too.

Today I have Psycho4 first time out on water ......
according to wind alert in 18-28 mph conditions .......
.... strap fully in ..... bar all way out ..... that think is a monster !!!!!! and small pull on a bar make you go sky high ..... ( not that I was trying to jump ..... ) awesome depower range .... I think that was my problem ...... I try to fly it like my other kites ..... with bar continuously traveling up and down in those gusty conditions ...... small movement change a lot in power delivery .....
awesome time with it today .... way too many times overpowered .... after warp speeding I did change it to may 11m Gin zulu II that was perfect for those conditions .......
