Hope you did not get mixed up in the local weather yesterday. We had tornado warnings and there was a water spout sighted on the river between the
bridge and Jekyll Island. And some chick on a broomstick...

Trip report-
Well i thought i would share a little about our trip to jekyll-
Thursday- after unrolling kite on the beach and inflating had to immediately deflate androll up because of incoming storm. Phree showed up about the
same time and we spent the next couple of hours at the picnic area to be out of the storm once it had passed we headed back to the beach to start
flying Angus joined us as well. winds were maybe 10mphs which meant a lot of working the kite. My goal on this trip was to down size from my norml
19m and spend more time on the 13m and really fly the **** out of the kite fo power gneration and intent on many kiteloops. I was able to really
tweak my transition jumps and foun a really smooth way of downlooping the kite on the redirect to keep the power "hot" and the movment smooth- was a
lot of fun. Chad had his first ever go on a board and ws able to get it going without to any slams in the ground, i think he was happy with his
progress but would have really benefittedfrom a little mor wind to bebettr powered up. Andrew took the 10m out and was quickly cranking out power
sliding tranitions and smal jumps.
The next 4 days were almost exact repeats of the first with wind every day being between 9-11 which left us a lot of grass mowing i did try a couple
of graps which i was sucessful with and aso tried a couple of rotations which quickly placed me on my A** really needed more wind to learn those but
overall was a great trip and loooking forward to trying out my new liquid force kiteboard soon.
