rooster was huge today. big winds small kites and super high water line made self launch and land very high stress. no room for error in that kind of wind. one of the observations I've made with the high water is it picks up all debris and puts it in the river current. super sketchy trying to manage a foil through a debris field.
fun day on a 4m kite

great past couple of days. so nice when the sun is out. makes it much more epic!
anyhow here's a couple from the other day. experimenting with mounting a gopro on the fill valve. these turned out pretty cool.

Expert enough to do the 6.5 hours of KB4C in July on a foil? I'm still maybe %30 on my transitions, and look out if there's traffic in the way Smile
