Got some good up wind riding yesterday, my first with any speed anyway!
Sorry for the long video I should of done some editing. Fast forward through the down winder and around the island and you will get to the up wind

Nice picture, my boat operator thought I was joking when I said if you are more than 50 feet away from the gopro I'll look like a speck.
A few more times out and I think I might be able to relax a little more, it is starting to feel real simmilar to kiting on the frozen lake. Although
I think my winter foils fly to the forward 1/2 of the wind window a little easier. I am guessing that is because it is easier to put ristiance
against the kite on a surface that is not moving.

Now if I could only do that going to the right!
Robinsonpr take videos, let us know how it goes. Flying a kite on water is a million time more fun than on the ice, good luck!
