Wind!

[oOTomOo]

So I looked out of the window at work and the branches on the trees outside are actually moving. I've asked around and it turns out it's something called wind..

Fortunately kite and board are in the boot of the car, so i'm hoping for something resembling a session after work.

Roll on 5:00!

it goes dark at 6 - doh

im heading down the beach in a min to try out a new kite oooooooooo00000000oooooooo -----------///////////--------------

the winds turned south south east - so thats my beach -
shame its only 8-10mph but i think thats all i need - - just a static fly anyhow

[oOTomOo]

Yea - I just ended up flying static. Was RUBBISH. The wind was gusty as hell and saw fit to change direction twice. causing my staked kite to blow sideways and get itself in a nice little ball. While I was trying to sort that out there was a nice big gust that caused it to launch, rip the handles out of my hands and require me to chase it down before it blew into some trees. FUN session..

I suppose it was exciting - in the same way being shot at is exciting..

When I read a comment such as the one posted below, I often wonder if I'm TOO OLD to be out doing that recreational activing called Kiting, and should be doing something for "older folk" instead, such as doing the weekend shop, or out in the garden cutting the hedge, or sat in the house listening to Radio 4 !!. (Im in my early 30's).

i've had the same shit luck all year so far ..... my last decent session was an hour in early jan , been out quite a few times but wind has been awfull !!

[Screaming_Lines]

It's GOOD when the wife buys loads of stuff..... it gives me an opportunity to then do the same! (stuff for the car.. Kiting gear.. ).
