On that day, we were all flying 2.5m +/- and thankful that we had smaller kites. Reminding ourselves about the advice that we give to newbies to start
small and they will always have a go to kite for high winds. I think my arms
are an inch or so longer after that day, but I was more or less in control with no Oh #@%$#! moments. On the other hand, a 2.5m depower ??

Pretty wild, I'm pretty sure I would have had lines wrapped around every axle if I tried that.

That was great, Mark. It looked totally comfortable, even in that wind! I know even flying my 2.4M NPW in that kind of wind can be an exercise in
survival!

Hey Bob you were talking about confidence growing as you get used to the speed. I finally got a run on a beach for the first time today and you're
not kidding...first run I was sh*tting myself, but 27 miles later it felt a lot more comfortable so I opened her up a bit. Smashed my previous top
speed of 26.1 with a 32.4!!
In fact, I'm gonna post about it :D

See?! Now the search for a buggy upgrade begins so you can hold down the power you couldn't use in your XR. Then you'll be going out in a bit more
wind and 30 mph will become no big deal. That's great you got that eye opening session. Now you're hooked.
