*Video*5-11-12 Southwick Beach


I spent Friday afternoon at Southwick Beach. Wind started out west at about 15, and I started off with the 4.8M NPW5 rigged 2-line on a bar. I got some really nice runs that way, but as this video starts, I am working north from the end of the beach camping area, to the State Beach, and the wind is dropping off, and switching to more SW. I decided to switch to the 7.6M NPW9 made by kitemaker4, which I recently got from airin, here. I spent over an hour doing short turns upwind, then getting in a downwind run, trying not to pass the kite. I didn't want to bore you with that part, but after taking a break, I noticed the wind had come back to the west, and had picked up a bit, so I got a couple of well powered runs with "Big Sistah" to finish the video.

Thanks guys. Pat, you should have been there. The wind came up beautifully around 7pm, and I was running from the state beach all the way to the last observation deck before the cut. Of course I had taken the camera off to get some different scenes from the set up spot, so I didn't get the shot of hooking my 4.8M on one of the "Dunes are fragile" signs, and shredding it! That happened just between the end of the camping area and the first boardwalk, so I had to walk back to the state beach in shame! lol I call speeding past the lookout point "threading the needle" fitting the kite between the rocks/railing and the "tree".(Big ol' popple that has grabbed a couple of my kites) Thats the main reason for the short lines, all the obstacles. Kober, I missed me at Wildwood, too! :yes:
