Just saw ALEX PETERSON loft a 600 foot air for well over 45 seconds on the snow!! TWICE!!! He admited that it got a little freeky after a little bit due to the fact that he wasnt comming down!! That was this weekend at the US MASTERS in UT on the snow. Crasy sh#t I tell you. He is also a very experenced paraglider and wore a differnet kind of harnesss.

That's nuts! Was it the new Ozone Manta II and the new Ozone "climbing type" harness? Or was it a big inflatable? The line between kiting and paragliding is starting to get pretty thin...

The harness is actually pretty cool looking, but I think it's designed to work with just the Ozone release system.

Alex is on best kites and climbing harness with kite harness is his usual set up these days.

I was told he had some 2 plus minute flights.

Shocked

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have gotten a fix on Wens. I thought, oh sure, I'll just get a little taste, and then build by some points with the wife before the really good weather comes...

Now I'm considering dissing people on saturday so I can go kiting. You heading way out east?

forecast is 10-20 in the hood and 15-25 and Breezy out east,

The pattern appears to be a frontal passage with a transient high.

Best Bet: Rufus Cool, but the Event site has grass

Tuesday looking good as well..

Looks like saturday, everyone can kite before voting
