we always fly real close like that and people think we are trying to take each other out of the sky ,the trouble here is that i know the Scud is filming behind me and I know there is a small jog ahead and im thinking it should be a good show to two wheel over the wood ,well the log acted like a ramp and you can see the barrel roll result. makes for good video right.

I believe you, millions woudn't, but I do. ;) Aren't you the guy who told me "never use a power spin to get up on two wheels"?
But it does make for good video.

SKF ,
The wind was at least 20kts. and gusting higher that day.

You may be interested in knowing that I was flying my 7m Pulse that day and not really overpowered . Something to think about as you get used to your FB kites and thinking about what size depower to choose.

When I am flying my 15m arc I am just getting the wind I need to jump when these ( skilled ) guys are going down to 3 and 4m FB foils.

It is kind of hard to get your head around the fact I can be flying so much bigger kites but depower foils and even more so arcs are less efficient . Until you get airtime that is.. Then the extra canopy is a very welcome thing !

P.S. Reflex Rocks !



Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

We could have been flying bigger and would have, if the chances of getting dragged through the pond weren't so high. It is smelling really ripe.
