Wind at last, and kite loops!!

At last, had a epic day today, ( Friday). Started off on a big kite, and as it got windier moved down to the 13 meter strike2. Did nothing but back loop kite loops all day, and with the wind slowly building, they where getting more and more fun, ( and more and more pull). Having landed every one perfectly I was getting well cocky, so tried a couple one handed, still with great results.

By late avo it was a solid 18 knots, with sand starting to blow up the beach. So I loaded up hard, threw my self into a back loop, cranked the bar, and at about 10 foot high looked DOWN at my kite looping at about 2 foot off the water, the great feeling was soon stolen from me, as I hit the water hard, and got dragged up side down for about 10 meters!!

Still a top day, at last. Lets hope it keeps up for the weekend.
