kite-skating on a pier close to a lighthouse with the nasastar!


last summer i had a smooth, almost meditative kite-skating session on a pier in my hometown rostock at the baltic sea. the kite is bought from born-kite.de - a small german kite company that makes a variant of nasawings.

the nasawing proved to be the perfect toy for this very tight spot ( circular asphalt place with 12 meter diameter). probably no other kite could handle such a situation. the nasawing is robust (no cells to burst), cheap (hence its not that bad if you abrase your riptstop coating on the asphalt), and flies perfectly stable on very short / no lines.

youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1k2Td_cElo&hd=1



the wind was so smooth - just wonderful. the wind was light - windspeed was maybe around 5 - 8 knots ( 10 - max 20 km/h)

the video was cut by born-kite.de .

in summary: this was one of the best street-kiting sessions i had. just one word: smooth !!

Played fine here (yes I had to click it :D ) but I think your PC may be shutting down out of a sense of utter horror over the sound track :ticking:



Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Played fine. Xp, Chrome and AVG.

What is it about "Don't click" that MAKES me click it?

because it seems to work now for more than 4 people withouzt issues, i removed the warning in my first post.

@skimtwashington: no offense, but maybe it was something else that caused the trouble ? sometimes, graphics cards get too hot with HD movies and suddenly shut down the system; maybe your adobe flash plugin is outdated; etc..

Sorry to hijack the post. Just thought I might be helping prevent problem for folks.

Schönes Ding! Ich dachte du würdest das Farhradfaher überholen.

Möchte mir auch eins holen. Für die Frau wäre es ideal zu lernen und ich könnte mal streetkiten im Großstadt.

I wonder how John got in so tight with Born kites?
