Mood: Itchin' to get out..........

posted on 22-4-2005 at 19:49

As the weekend wind appears once more to be marginal, told the wife that I'd do her a "favour" & stay at home over the weekend and attempt to boost "huge and unhooked" with the lawn mower.

Also tried explaining that if the wind was good next weekend I'd have to go for 2 days 'coz I missed a day this week.

Was surprised to find that women don't appear to understand this sought of logic..................

Boys never grow up.........their toys just get more expensive !!

chris i agree on the fith line wave thingy but i downed the kite today and took a handfull of fifth line and off she popped..it certainly gives the kite greater windrange and seems to handle the gusts better...but then again it could be i'm getting better (about time)..

To Infirmary and beyond..

Does 5th Line bigger wind range mean that you will be giving up any kite smaller than a 17 now Col? I have to agree, the 5th line on the Rhino 05 gives much more range and also added security in knowing that you can take all power out the kite at the top of the window if it gets a bit too windy.

Finally printing dissertation, three exams after that and its kitesurfing all the way then! Can't wait.
