The only problem I had the other day in a + 25 Mph wind was my eyes watering from the wind, even that was with sun glasses on. :cool:
All that matters in life is kite flying, love and work ….preferably in that order.

In the bag; Shhhhh... far too many to mention, don't tell the Missus!

Got UL and Wah pads for the std today, can't wait to get out again, 23 mph is a lot of wind to be flying in, great range improvement then with the pads.


I had it on 100 ft fat lines too.

Wah Pads are awesome brakes and don't get tangled. Stuffing the upper and lower spreaders of a Skyshark .85 adds 42gm to the kite (using structil 6mm) and thus set it really does cope well with big winds :shock: Well impressed with mine in this current patch of windy weather!
A NOHD will be published for the DS in due course, till then wear sunnies.

Too many walks of shame?

Did I mention worn out shoes.....?

I always fly with the wind from behind YMMV

ever heard of slip streams....

Guess I was probably owed those 2, but hey what about last month all that Northly wind & snow. I had to pack in because my face was hurting so much one day, was stung by hail stones (on the walk of shame I might add). Oh yeah forgot, also a well cool kite for ground recovery agreed guys? :cool:

Yeah I now just as well for me really... you don't need to say.
