Hi guys,
I have put together a 4 min clip with some dusty footage from over a year ago, have a look if you have some time to kill, it is from a light wind session on a 9' mal' and a 15m kite (Flysurfer Speed2)... look for the 2 strange looking thing next to me towards the end of the vid ;-)
was that shot at long reef?. also what would be the minimum wind strength to get going with that set up, I'd be guessing 7-8 knots
Great work Jacques. I'm dusking off my mal next light wind day. We only get bull sharks in Botany Bay though, but I guess that'll have to do.
Hi Jacques,
Thanks for the video . How did you set up the camera under the kite?
I fly Speed 1 and 2's (and others...) and have great expectations for the Speed3. I expect that it will be a mature kite.
Cheers,
Fred
Hi Fred,
The way I attached the cam to the kite was pretty much the way it is describe here:http://www.foilzone.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8086&start=0
Note that although I never had any problem, the risk of getting tangles is increased because of that X set-up. I would probably not try that on a high wind Flysurfer kite (6 or 8m) for safety reason: you don't want tangle to happen above 20-25 knots of wind.
If you get some footage, please share it!
Jacques
