super sunny on wednesday at rooster.
five of us made it out for the winds before it dropped in the afternoon
had to get there by boat, but the good thing was the nudist couldn't access the island.
could see them on the shoreline cheering us on haha

Fantastic! Stringy - are you using some sort of image stabilization, rotation software or program on the line mount stuff?

VietSchlong pathways are nil
due to high waters. The eastern bathroom must be VS headquarters.

Nice work on the all-to-yourselves, cold water, east wind sunny as hell expression session!

NAK and Barnes in that too?

Yeah we were keeping the VS away from Stringy! Fun day for sure!

hey blaze, the line mount I was using was actually a prototype I've been testing, but its basically the same as the HD3 line mount. If you're using the original kitehero, it's not as stable as the last generation line mount.
thanks guys for the kind words. was fun yesterday for sure.

Super cool!!!! John and I desperately looked for way to launch from the grass at Rooster Park on Tuesday but wind was definitly not strong enough.... Nice / fun jumps from the sand dune!

Thanks for the info Stringy. I have the line mount for the Hero2 with then green rubber stabilizers. It works great! But if the kite is turning - so are the lines. In your video - it almost looks like you set up some software to make your center lines the reference point and everything else moves around that reference point.

Fun day for sure! Just no wind on the South half of the pond. Rode over into that and BAM. Kite fell out of the sky and no relaunch possible. Headed west at about 4 knots. Shocked

Not even enough wind on that side for a self rescue. Much thanks to Mark for the rescue and to Ron for the use of his jetski. Very Happy
