Hey Plummet, what is the kite your using there and what sort of wind range is comfortable for cruising like that? cheers tony
No pain shots. Been longboarding and kitong fot a long time. ...
But it is interesting. Flying toeside one handed threading the needle past trees , walkers. Ypu dont need much power at all. Carves are so lush.
Nice work - I've just found a new life for my trainer 2.5 imp !! - now to find a path that is tree/powerline and other obstacle free with the right wind direction :-(

Yeah man that's the trick. I only get onshores straight on to this walkway once every couple of months.
But when I do, its on like donkey kong. Of course you can crank a lot higher angles upwind that when on the water!
Nice man, wish I could find somewhere like that to give it a go, I know my boys have been aching to get on their skateboards with my trainer kite

Yeah I've been scratching my head for spots. Got some awesome paths etc around my way but freaking trees everywhere. Might have to look into the top of parking building idea though
...except for the footwear
Mate you haven't lived till yourve bommed a bumped a hill at 60kph in your crocs! the wind coursing past your toes, Jumped boulders landboarding, down hill mountainbiking in the heat of summer? would you do that with jandles? bare feet? Just flip the safety latch on and go from casual to extreme footwear in one swift motion!
Ahhh, Jendools, whitebait, kina and chulli buns......can't wait to do another trup ta NZ!
Love ya work Plum, my kids use a skim board at the beach with my 2m Slingshot trainer and try and use the waves as ramps, cool fun.
Have also tried it on the longboard, but as others have said, not to many favourable spots....
Just don't know where to source a decent shirt from?
If your going to indulge in any land based extreme kiting it is mandatory to wear an extreme hawian shirt.
