Back out once again! - 17.12.07
As usual the wind forcast was quite good for the weekend, that was till I got my results on if I was able to go back out again. From 20mph Easterly, to 8mph!
A group of us had arranged to go down to a "secretish" site in Essex, so we made the trip down for a chilled out 8.5 session. To our astonishment we were greeted with 30mph winds!
Straight away I lobbed up the 4.0m Blade IV. I was told to take it easy & as I hadn't been out properly in a few months took it easy. Some of the lift this 4.0m gives is unreal, and the float for such a small kite is thankfull, especially when jumping at 8ftish and coming down smoothly.
During the afternoon the wind calmed down, kinda a relief for myself as i wanted to get back into some tricks but did not want to take any risks concerning my back.
After a few minutes i was kitelooping again, what a great feeling that I had most deffiently missed. On a few i was getting some secondary lift as the kite fully looped and some jammy double kiteloops.
It was great to be back out once again! Lets hope for some wind over the Xmas Break.
