Sounds like a time for my 1m profoil. Squirrel on crack. Probably rip the bridle off of it, though. Wait- I've got a 6' flexi stacker w/ no upper wind limit. There we go.:wee:

I live in Woodward Oklahoma (NW part of the state) and it is crazy windy here too. 50 mph - dust is blowing where there is no wheat on the ground. Probably not even going to fly my 1.5 bullet or 2.5 rage with these conditions.

Scottsbluff, NE.... its on the far west side, in the middle of the panhandle... like 45 mins from the wyoming border.

Good news, the wind is down to a mere 30 mph today... :mad:

30-35 on the coast used a #@%$#!roach on a string aka HQ Delta Hawk duel line stunt kite (47 upper limit) to land board with until a line broke (just 100lb) then went down wind with just our jackets open. Long walk back.
