had my first ATB session today


Just wanted to share that I finally got out on my board up at Fort Flagler behind the Pulse 2 12m.

the evening started out with kinda light wind but right around 6pm the thermal coming in from the coast finally hit.

managed to get a couple small jumps in. only landed about half of them and I have the grass stains to prove that I didn't land the rest.

definitely had one big 10ft ish lofty jump that officially sent my addiction to kiteboarding to a new level :spin:

hi...

sounds like a nice session...

did you ride ATB much before w/o the kite?

were you already comfy on skateboards or something like that -- and much crossover learning from the water boarding? :ninja:

hope you don't mind the Q's, I've got a really small kite area, but I keep thinking of giving it a try...

cheers,

furbo



fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....

sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...

also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.

one of the things i love about kiting is the way the learning curve seems to stretch up into the sky no matter where you are on it!:smilegrin::lol:
