Kiting using a plastic shopping bag for power

It has been unseasonably warm here and very windy this past weekend. One of the local kite crew found the 80 kph gusts enough to get a ride in the slush at Spray Lakes.

EDIT: don't know how to let you see the Facebook video so here are some clips from it.

A 1m to a 1.5m kite should be good for it. Pick up something cheap and small to have on hand.
