No wind day was actually good!
Went to do a little flying today but the wind went from 0 to maybe 5 at best, couldn't even consider riding the board, cruddy! But not all was lost,
my 15 year old daughter who didn't want anything to do with kiting finally grabbed on (took some prodding), but she finally did it. Switched the
handles out to the bar(Prism Tensor), and she crashed it nose first into the ground twice, then zoooom, off she went doing figure eights and cutting
back and forth, got her to do some full loops, and even reverse launch! I was totally stoked, and you should have seen the smile on her face the whole
time. She did GREAT!!! She couldn't believe how fun it was, and is ready to go again. My best kite day yet(and no wind, imagine that). Geez, I guess I
need to get another kite so we can go out together:singing:
My Kites:
5m Prism Tensor
13m PL Scorpion
My Ride:
MBS Core 90
