Flexifoil Blade 8.5 - Sunset
Static flying the Blade, nothing special, just sharing an after work sunset session from Thursday. No wind at ground level but just enough babies
breath above the tree tops to keep it going.

Thanks all. It was a choice between mopping a factory floor or leaving work early to fly the kite in the last remaining hour or two before sunset.
I'll have to mop tonight (Saturday) instead.  ...but worth it.

So what will this high ar kite be like in choppy, punchy gusty lull ridden and generally ugly winds? My best riding conditions are just that around
here due to all the interference but I'm learning to work with it best with handles and the low ar s of my flexi rage and 5m hornet. Will a kite like
this or say a reactor be as stable or potentially more dangerous due to the lift they can provide. Is the higher ar better at grabbing the edge for
upwind riding?

Very challenging if riding something but a blast to fly static and use for exercise. (not jumping unless smooth wind)

@John, glad you liked it and the least I can do for you after all the videos you post up of yourself at the beach while we freeze in winter. Always
brightens my day.
@swesting, Thanks! It's pretty basic editing but I really do enjoy it and I'm always sad when it's finally finished.
