What to do with a 10-20mph off-shore wind ?

« on: November 14, 2011, 04:23 AM »

Fly a single line ! Here's what to do with the worst wind conditions my beach has to offer... This kite was a real bear to wrestle in, glad I only put it up 150'-200'.
Thanks to Steve for hooking me up with the sand anchors and the tail set-up. This is the kite that I bought from 'Stringfly' (Park), I finally got it some air.

Nice, love those Brasington kites ! I bet you got a lot of comments from onlookers with those up in the air.
