My session arrived

Post by MK »

I ordered it up last week and tracked the delivery on the weather channels.

I was pleased to open it up and give it a test ride. It came in a very cold wet package but I was so pleased to have it in my hands I didn't care.

The technical specs were: 14M in 15-20 mph.

It did allow me to practice my back rolls!

I was most pleased with my order. And then sharing it with Yu Han, Tom, Dean R, Debbie, Jeff, Tighe, George and Brian made it all that much better.

(this sounds rediculous but I'm posting it anyway)

What a great time riding with the bald eagles. Three of them played in the wind with us all day. Two of them would soar the ridge down to Carlsona with me, or I with them. Beautiful birds. Are these your friends Stroh? They seemed to follow my kite, turning when I did, and I wonder if the colors on my kite, dark and white (not dislike their bodies), had any effect on them.

Beautiful day, great energy on the water....and capped off with the Happy happy happy meal. : )

Yes indeed it was a great day of kiting albeit cold... We had the whole beach to ourselves and the wind was really smooth. The bald eagles were gorgeous!!! I think they got tired and perched on a tree across the street side by side watching us... they sure seemed curious. I'm glad they didn't think our kites were a threat to them... talons and kites will not mix well.

Jeff G... you should have joined us! It was totally worth the drive!

Glad to see all of you out there!!!

4 of us stayed local on Washington for a mixed bag of winds but had a wonderful day. Jerry, Rick, Peter and myself rode the on and off winds, I finished on 12m completly powered and satisfied that this could have been the last water session for the year. Waiting to see the highlights from the Jerry cam ! Bring on Padre

Thanks for letting me join the group yesterday. I hope I was not too much of a bother getting in the way. It looks like I am also going to be in SPI on the 13th.
See you there -unless Aiolos has on more good day for us in the near future.
