..... As some know I been continuously working for last 2 months with almost none kiting time ..... Then one day I drop everything and did short session with our crew in not so windy day .....
.... Last Tuesday forecast was showing plenty of wind ..... so me and Jaymz decide to go for a session ..... After arriving at our local spot we been welcome by that crazy wind gusting up to 55mph and kiters turning around without trying .... We decide to go for it and I did two one hour sessions that take all my energy when fighting with those bad conditions ....
Lots of workout did not stop me from smiling and enjoying kiting as always ....
.... Today we going out again ..... Cant wait ...
.
BTW ..... this kite is for sale if anyone is interested

That was wicked cool Konrad. Thanks for putting that together.
55mph with a 7m. What would that do to you on land in a buggy?

quite the range that day! you mast have been hanging on for dear life there with it gusting to 55mph, no?

gotta get the days when you can I guess...been feeling the crunch over here too, just not many water kite days this summer either.

Rockfighter ...
.... That would be serious kitemare ....
Today I was trying my new Gin Uru 14m with gusts up to 28mph ..... " Jumping " got totally different meaning to me now ...... and " Crashing " too

Kitedelight ... There was few moments when I want to put kite down .... but there was a photo reporter from local newspaper that make that decision hard to approve ... lol

Looks like a tough day Kober, props for sticking it in the name of making some turns.

Got any footage of your 14m day?
