Talk about gusty 2


I get to start a new club ... the 2130 club :o

Took to the lake on Tuesday PM ... not much wind so I put up the Speed3 21. Murphy's Law, the wind kicks in ...

Gusty like you wouldn't believe - from having to work the ass off the fully powered 21 to fully trimmed and a hand hovering over the QR.

Some of the biggest jumps in my life though :D

When I got home and checked the weather data ... 10 to 20 knots with gusts to 32 :wee:

Never again :no:



Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Big gusty wind is like a Halloween house of horrors. That feeling of "I can do this" interupted by moments of terror followed by exstatic amazment time after time untill you pack it in and its "OMG did I just do that" (and get away with it). Kami have fun with that new club and be safe.

Yeah that's it exactly :o it's like a drug, searching for the next perfect session is a high you keep chasing ... so you go out in retarded conditions hoping for a few minutes of joy-gasm :lol:

It is kinda fun though - just sheeting in and flying is neat :)

Gonna check my lines, good point Phree!

No :crazy: but it's a testament to the stability and amount of depower there is in that kite!
Either that or ... how lardy my ass is :lol:
