Anyone know any good waterproof foils for kitebuggying in a monsoon? It's been over 2 months of no wind, or heavy rain and high tides. I did get one
day in with 45 MPH winds and a 1.4m Buster in a field the size of an elementary school soccer field. Man I can't wait until SOBB 2020.
I was going to suggest an LEI, but looks like you are FB only. Maybe worth the investment - they would do much better in the mud there I would
imagine. And after that it's only a few more steps to the bay :D
I've been following a guy on YouTube in your area (Angus/SlappySan), and he's been saying the same thing about the wind there. His last 2 sessions
have been pretty much victory at sea.
Success today, steady onshore winds around 15 mph at Garry Point, me and the boy were out for a couple hours today before the winds died down, 12m
Access did beautiful for us. Next weekend the wind should be cranking, we have a small depowerable on it's way. Just need to talk to a certain someone
about finding me a 18m Chrono for those light wind days.
Braved the knee deep mud and water to drag some gear out to Mud Bay. It's the worst I've ever seen the access path. Once we got out onto the flats,
beach was sopping wet, but the wind was good and the sun was shining, Best day we'e had out there in a long while.
A couple days late, but had a fantastic weekend snow kiting Lake Sacandaga. Had the entire lake to ourselves, snow and wind were perfect and picked up
all day. Unfortunately it was too cold for my poor old GoPro, so I only got a couple minutes of footage.
What did I do today..?
I fixed my PkdJoy2 after a stormy run last Saturday.
Took the complete bridle from an old one that was completely blown up and put it on this one.
New lines with strength 220/110kg and better handles.
Just got back from a 'dry' test run and it works like it always did..
Really happy that the problem was just that. :D
A compete bridle transplant! Might be a first in power kite medicine.
So being a medical guy myself I loved this!!! Had me wondering if the transplant was performed on-pump (outdoors in the wind) or off-pump (indoors)?
:D
At home of course in a steriel environment with 2 nurses and an extra surgeon standing by.
Donor was allready on a heart-lung machine so time was of the essence.
recovery went well and he's given the all-clear to fly pulling the crab.

just finished with sorting all the data.
unlocked myself from the basement and released the laptop for normal use so the wife is happy again...:D
over 40GB of movie cut into just over 3 minutes, tried to use as much material but not making it too long or boring.
the rear actioncam picks up moist and the lens gets blurry in no time so not much useable footage from that one.
it was a rainy day untill 2 in the afternoon.
only a short shower at 3 were the wind picked up for a short time and i had to stop for 5 minuntes to prevent an eject.
the seat of the Crab will be modified: the now layed-back position will be more upright so i can brace myself more to go bigger and faster.
speed today was just over 65km/H...
:singing:
You're having way too much fun.
I think a moment of silence at the end of your videos would be appropriate, for those of us who cannot get out as often.
:P
ps: I see that you launch your kite before getting into the buggy. That makes sense. I thought you were launching from the seat. I have been too long
an LEI flyer that I forgot how to launch a foil.
