Our afternoon of testing in Trapani Sicily, Italy. Flattest millimeters of water over top of some sea grass. Blowing 20+ here in these pics. Riding the new TS from Best and the 135 Armada.

Its just a Go Pro with a tripod mount. Just attached it onto the front fly line ring with a screw and washer. Its no good for video because it moves around alot, but for stills its great.

It was pretty windy and it amazed me that it didn't disturb the water at all. Just like a dream early morning wakeboard session.

Meh... I kite in stuff like that all the time,@20-25+ I'm just not saying where..
Sea grass and an outer bank are the key..... As long as you don't mind boosting and looping in a foot of water and the odd ray.

You forgot to add sea urchins in the weeds, and razor cuts when you fall in to the weeds at speed.

Still worth it for high speed lawn moving though!

Don't forget stingrays, oysters, sea urchins, bull sharks and dead onshore.
