Kite surfing: golf course Wind Direction: nnw Wind Stength: upto 20knotts ish Surf / Sea State: slight chop Air Temperature: *******cold Sea Temperature: warm Weather: eventually sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered:
notice i didnt use any of my kites today!
tried the 17mtre strike and ws out on it from about 10 ish till nearly
3.
well actually was out on it for about half hour before i just had to come
in and get rid of that **** flexi bar and short lines and put a proper bar
on ie my stage 2 and 30 mtre lines;just got to have that big window!
well the kite;
stable in the air, great de power ,(according to shem i was out in about 20
knotts at some point) hence copes well with the gusts.reminds me of the
wipi free airs that i have .turns well for such a big kite,great air times
but quite a different technique to re directing the kite whilst in the
air,needs to redirected very soon after take off as other wise it just sits
above your head and you float back down vertically followed by the kite, as
peeps on the beach can verify.really enjoyed the kite,great for wave riding
as it is so stable you can just forget about it.
could def recomend this beasty for learning as well as advanced riders,with
the exception of the bar that is,why cant flexi make a bar that locks; dont
need arms the size of popeyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
