Twister II 5.6m Video
I just put together this very amateur video, and I'm still very much a beginner landboarder, but I just thought I'd share it with you all anyway!
Twister II 5.6m, winds between 10 and 16mph.

Enjoy! |

Seriously, I feel very fortunate to have a field like that so nearby! It's less than a mile from my house!

Woah! */me moves there, wherever it is*
Nice boarding too!
Me: Dutch Flyboarder ... but not the kind you\'re thinking of.
Power: PL Vibe 1.8 (1.9 mod) - PL Vibe 1.9 - PL Vibe 2.3 - PL Hornet 2.0 - PL Twister 4.1 - PL Twister 5.6
Wind Range: Riding: 11 - 38 knots. Jumping: 12 - 21 knots.
Ride: Trampa (14ply 35deg channels)
Wants: PL Reactor II 6.9 - PL Impulse TR 3.0
Former gear: Libre Dragonboard Sirius - PL Guerilla 13 - Flysurfer Speed I 10 - Ozone Manta II 10
Homemade: PL Vibe 1.8 - Star 6.0 (Depower) - 3 Nasawings - Pixie 1.5 (fun foil) - Flowform 3.0 (slk) - Frog (laundry)
Dilemma: If you work, you have money for kites but no time to fly them. If you don\'t work, you have plenty of time to fly
kites, but no money to buy them. Either way, we\'re all screwed...

Pulsar, I live about 2 hours north of Seattle.
Drew, 20+ mph sounds fun! Higher winds would certainly help improve those pitiful "jumps" at the end of the vid!

Make sure you are comfortable with that kite, lol its spanked me a few times when I wasnt paying attention in those winds! invest in a helmet too!
its always good to have one, but if you are pushing the upper limits of a kite, and jumping... Pretty much a mandate at that point!
Btw, how much do u weigh? Im 230ish. If you are about my weight the 20s will be the sweet spot after you really get a feel for that kite... If your
like 175, that may turn into a beast in the 20s!
Either way, keep the videos coming! kite pron is always welcome lol!

I'm a tad over 200, and from what I've experienced so far, the upper teens is where things really start to get exciting for me. I also work with
youth a lot, so it's been fun to teach them how to fly on my smaller Beamer 3.6 and then give them a go on the Twister! A few of them are making
their way into landboarding and enjoying the Twister in the 10 to 15mph range!
I'm not awesome at the whole video thing, but I'll try to keep them coming!

Looks like you are having fun. I could use a good session. I saw Washington but was bummed when I saw Lynden is in the opposite corner from Pasco.
If the wind is nice enough you might get some Canadians to show up at your field.
