Here is the last few minutes of my 15 year old son's first session on an arc. He caught on quickly and did much better than dad did on his first
session.
Temp was 93 humidity was 80% winds 9-12 knots with some lulls down to 7 and gusts to 14. It was hot and sticky out.
Excuse the up the nose shot. I didn't remember if I turned the GoPro on or not. I still need to figure out how to edit and add tunes.
This was his last 8 minutes of flying. He had about an hour and a half in prior to this. He was pretty wiped out by the end of this video. I need
to edit that to some shorter out takes. I think my son has logged into PKF once. His username is Chips.
We are both rookies with these things so any feedback would be much appreciated........ He is flying on a 2011 53cm Griffin bar.
Very nice session, Chip. Looking forward to seeing you combine the Venom with your board. (maybe Dad will learn how to shoot good video and edit by
then.)
During the lulls, I find it helps to pull on the center lines to recover. Saves running back quite so much.

thanks Todd, I'm really new to Arcs (as the video clearly shows it). at first ever since my dad got into kiting, i sat back abit and watched but
eventually i had to try it... i think i started on a 3 meter foil kite, not sure of the specs or place but after flying it i wasn't exactly satisfied,
so gradually we worked our way up from foils to arcs (which i love as of Sunday). I'm DIEING to put that board to use after watching some guys on the
forum. but i still need to put some hours on the arcs. Btw thanks for the comment i wasn't sure how people would react to a boring vid like this...
HQ Crossfire II 5m
GI Flight, K2 WWW (SBoard)

Vid is great should have jumped on that board

So if you ever sell dibs
Keep up the good work
