broke my cherry


Went out this morning to try my buggy and things went pretty well. Only had a small area to work with (4 acres the wrong way) which by tutorial on Coastal Wind sports page may have been to my advantage. I found that one side seems much more comfortable or natural wondering if that's just me (low range of twisting motion to my right side) or if other have found this as well. I can see why a strop and harness would be beneficial but for me I'll hold off on that I did like the forgiveness of not being hooked in. Upwind well that will be another day with a different kite. I did let the kite get behind me once no OBE but I did accelerate rapidly backwards then snapped it around like I knew what I was doing. Kind of chuckled to myself since no one else was around! wind started to shift toward the end of my time and had chance to run the longest section and try the BRAKES at speed.... and by speed I might have been going 12mph... any other places for good tutorials shoot me a link! Thanks
Brian

Thanks for sharing! This will be me too in a few days :smilegrin:
I've got about the same area to work in until I know what the heck I'm doing. I'm sure an OBE is always the easiest part to learn!! LOL
