Snowkite - 11m Furia - South London!?!?!?

Had a great weekend on the snow in Purley Way.

Wind was up around 20mph with some serious gusts!!!! Had an absolute blast!!! She handled the gusts sooo well and did not mind sitting up in the zennith while doing up my bindings either.

Jumps were pretty huge (some pretty unexpected!!) one of the locals, unfortunately ended with a trip to A&E!! He probably needed quite a number of stitches to patch up his eye. Loved the bar!!!! I had thick gloves on and had no probs using the depower or changing the distance of the stopper ball!!!

Bar pressure is very light too, which is great!!!

It was an awesome day - I cannot believe that it was London!

End of another sick weekend

Had a real blast over the weekend, went to Tynemouth on Saturday and was kitesurfing until sunset on my 11m Furia, doing some freestyle on the Lux, and practicing some strapless surfing on the Burning. The wind was fairly light but was able to get some amazing pop from the Lux and Furia!

Sunday was another one of those wild days, took the 7m Furia and was very impressed with how it coped with the very strong and gusty conditions. Again it wasn't the best day for pushing the freestyle, so had a great deal of fun boosting, ripping along in the shallows and getting a bit more strapless practice in!

I've been really impressed with Furia and will post a review in the next couple of days.

A cold day at 'the Chem works'

Well today there was a few of us decided to go to 'the chem works' for a session. We where greeted with 30 knt winds gusting to 44 and a minus degree windchill. Me and andrew decided to give it a miss and stay on the beach to take pics and video. Pete went out on his 7m furia LTD and had a great time ripping it up on his lux and burning.  I'm sure pete will do a write up to let everyone know how the kite preformed in, what I thought where overpowered conditions, but the kite seemed to cope very well.
