Hot day, no wind, or a rat's fart worth anyways.
UPS man (santiclaus) delivers new speed 10
WTF, too much work and no play, might as well go see if it
can fly in a rat's you-know-the-rest wind.
Ya right, I'm out on my boat, all dressed to kill, 15 extra pounds of 7mm wetsuit, fins, helmut, booties, harness, extra tampons, equals= 90 kg or around 195pds.
heavy, in other words. Too heavy for a ten meter kite and 8-10 knots of wind.
A few caps here and there.
If I had my old Psycho2-21 I MIGHT be able to stay upwind but it'd be touch-and-go.
Throw it in the water, drifts away slowlyyyyyyyyy because there was hardly enough to inflate it in the first place.
Lines get tight, bang. The god damn thing pops out of the water like nothing at all.
And then it justs sits at zenith looking at me like a well trained dog asking me "what would you like next, master?" To go upwind and have a right fucking time, that's what dickhead but there's no tension on the lines that I know about.
And guess what, I did. Go upwind, very much so during the gusts in fact.
Now I have to ask myself, what if I had the 17 speed instead of the 10?
hmmmmmmmm, guess my jumps would have been 20 feet instead of 10.
you know the rest......................................
