I stopped off at the field on the way home from work but there wasn't any wind at all so decided to get the shopping done. A couple of hours later the wind picked up a little so took a chance an went down.
The wind was up and down but decied to give it a go was a little too light at first but things picked up and kite was really pulling well I think I need to get some boots that slide better as at times Im getting almost picked up by the kite before I feet are sliding at all.
Im feeling more in control of the kite now getting used to where it pulls most and getting it to sit above my head without having to look at it, went to far a couple of times and folded the kite up got it flying again before it hit the ground though.
Not sure if this is the way to go but practiced running across the wind keeping the kite powered up as if I was on a mountain board
