seventh and eight frames, 14m hydra, shin 136, rider weight 86kg.
please correct me guys if ive got board sizes wrong, im pretty sure they are all aroung 135.
you will notice that the windmeter is being held side on to the wind .Also there is **** in that water that flattens things out giving a glassy appearance .Also the guy holding it has disgusting **** under his thumbnail
and where is tophat ,he's gotta be around there somehere
This was 20 knots *cough* I mean 10 knots at Altona.
Here you can see the wind at the time the photo was taken.
This guy is riding the new cabrinha light wind kite that you make you pull 30 foot jumps in 6 or 7 knots with a 10m kite. Did I neglect to mention he weighs 25kg's and is 7 years old?
In this photo now, you can clearly see the rider is overpowered in 10 knots, probably because he is more worried about comparing penis size with the rider behind him.
Must have been from that filthy crap Subaru CV joint job I did 3 days ago lol Anyway I'm on to it!!
heres the vid of the same sesh,
it might not be the most exciting times in light wind, but at least we're out there and not just waiting for the next season. its a good way to practice handle passes and kite control.
What sort of tidal movement do you guys get up there? I remember something like 5 meters? Thats gota help alot?
try putin ur wind meter 15 meters up at kite height and i guarantee it will read at least 13-14.
can we please now see the following :
Same Guys on the same boards with the same kites in the 35+knots that you also claim these kites can be easily handled in.
ps: wind meters do lie... esp those little hand held ones with the impeller.
yer well i had a wind meter about 3 meters off the ground in about 25-30 knots (average as read on the seabreeze graphs) and the wind meter said 17-18 max.
also i didnt say your wind meter was wrong for reading that wind at ground level but it is a fact that if you had it higher it would read more.
would it be possible to have a separate forum category for discussion and photography of these miracle-kites? so there'd be windsurfing, kitesurfing, surfing, fishing, genetrix-hydra-propaganda, sup-ing etc.
that way this little mutual-congratulation society could exist happily on their own terms, constantly reassuring each other how good their kites are without the terrible skepticism they encounter here.
who cares if they can kite in 10kts?!?!?!?[}:)] why is it that everytime u go on seabreeze 9 out of 10 things u will read is saying all the negative things about something. why cant people just look at the positives?
ps- sorry for going on
I think they look kooky. Not getting under my skin, thay are making you look seriously uncool tho-
PS anyone who wants can come and see me to demo my new watercraft that goes in no wind at all, it's called a rowboat and is almost as extreme as the kiting in the photos above.
