Enthusiasm restored

Started to lose interest with no wind but finally a puff of wind showed up Monday afternoon to suck me back in. :D
I was more excited than what actually took place but is was nice to have a breeze if only for a half hour.

Good one Sean! Makes me really want to get a FS Peak now :rolleyes:

Also, that spot can't get any better for buggying/landboarding. If only we had something with that amount of space.

That was a great training video for me, I liked the downturns and some sinusoidal flying to keep the foil on edge.

THANKS for sharing. - book marked.

Thanks all :bigok:

Yeah Jason, I know I need to do something about the snow, I would really like to get a snow skate. Steffen has a video where he is using one.
