It feels good to be called a kitesurfer. :cool: . And yes that is plumb beach on a windy north wind day ,surprisingly the sand is just hard enough to ride on the landboard when the tide is far out . And on a south wind day its perfect for kitesurfing. Come on dwn guys lets get a land session in before summer is out.

Very nice! Seeing you kiteboard nice and mellow like that gets my crank turning. Just what I need, a whole quiver of LEIs.... :o

Pretty wild seeing you boarding in all that shallow standing water in the beginning. I recognized the Ozone green kite in the beginning. Thought it was an Access but wasn't sure. What model and size? My 9m Frenzy is that green color. Sweet.



Born-Kites:
RaceStar+ (3.0m, 5.0m, 7.0m, 9.0m)
NasaStar-5 (2.5m, 4.0m)
NasaStar-4 (2.5m)
NasaStar-3 (3.2m)

Ozone kites:

Yea thnks , kitesurfing is a whole different animal and the most extreme of all the kitesports i think . u can go really fast without much effort as their is little resistance to the water but i try to keep a slow speed regardless. Unfortunatley its just as addictive and u will need a whole new set of gear ,time and so on. lol . The green kite is an 2015 8m ozone acces . Its a great kite very smooth but looks small for its size and its my goto kite for gusty winds.

8m Access V6 with Re-Ride, nicely played! I suspect that is a real honey of a kite. My 6m is a real confidence booster on days when the winds are really brisk. I just picked up a 4m Access V6 for days when even the 6m is too much. The day will surely come when I gulp hard and launch that little fella into a tempest.

I suspect the 8m is a great kite and still plenty lively enough to fly well in brisk wind. I read on another thread here on PKF that the 10+ m Access can get a little dead-in-bed. Makes sense as it is sort of detuned for predictability in high winds. For larger sizes (9+) I therefore went with the Frenzy for the mid-size and the Summit for the truly big, lower wind options. The Re-rides are da bomb!

Thats what I was thinking it was an Ozone Acccess I so want to get one of those at some point. Looks pretty cool flying around with it.
So what was the wind speeds when you did it and size?
