Sorry I had so little time to really sit and chat, but it was good talking to those of you on the beach Friday. Didn't manage to cruise the whole length of the beach, but did make it to the large south tower and back a few times Thursday. The turtle centre was a really interesting visit, so a big thank you Angus for the organisation of the whole event! Had to leave Saturday morning, sorry I couldn't stay longer, or see more of you, but had an unforgettable time cruising a great beach!
Good talking to you Mark, and watching you pull off 2 deadman turns was amazing given the wind conditions!
If anyone is interested in reading about the Berrow power kite events in the UK then please take a look at Amazon e-books, and type in Madness and Mayhem, Berrow.
The event shirt is great, and I especially like the small print at the bottom back!
Until the next time

It was nice hanging out, riding and exchanging stories. The few days you were there had the biggest variance in weather and wind conditions so I'm really glad you got some riding in.
I would usually use thinner and shorter lines to deadman do a with arcs but it was worth having a go at it - doing them backwards with the small 6.5 arc earlier in the week was even more fun and no pensioners were injured during any attempts.

It was only our second visit to Jekyll for Fiona and I and it's a fantastic place to stay and explore the island and region and the crew that show up to kite are laid back and a load of fun.
If you can swing it again in the future, post a message and there might be a chance to book in with a number of kiters and families staying side by side and makes for nice evenings on the deck overlooking the beach.
I'll be heading over to Scotland in the fall and we might head down to visit Fiona's brother near London - who knows maybe we'll tour around and stop by Hoy.

It was nice meeting you Walt!

Walt,
Thanks for taking the time out of your holiday to visit with us! Glad you got a good chance to ride!
