P4 19 Light wind session


Was impressed that I was riding at all, let alone popping wee jumps...





Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Your "wee jumps" look like 30 footers to me! Good float from the kite. It did look like a decent wind though.

My front rolls are usually better than that :o it WAS 18 months ago, after all :D

Weather station reported 8-12 knots, but it was more like 10 to 15. Big Flysurfer though, always lots of power so long as it can fly. The other rider was on a 17m Turbine and directional and he was only going upwind as well as I was - which was just enough to play and not have to walk :)

oh cool. maybe by the time 18 months have gone by I will actually be able to land one! at the moment it feels like it will never happen. Then again thats true of a lot of things in kiting.
