Re: Chris Krug's Xing Vid.
Great video! Fun to watch Chris pick off the big inflatables one at a time.
Re: Chris Krug's Xing Vid.
WOW, I thought the Silver Arrows were the light wind Kings. I was rooting for him when he had to pump the steering line while the inflatos were dropping. Thanks for that Em!

Speaking of that, here is some footage of 90lb. kid on a 21m foil kiting in lightest of breezes. Notice that the inflatables on the beach are not even moving.

Re: Chris Krug's Xing Vid.
Frickin' Amazing! I especially loved the 'under passing'.
'The Flying Rectangle' - I love the big hammer approach!.
Very Cool!

Re: Chris Krug's Xing Vid.
Nice! I noticed that most of the passing was done downwind. Probably a good technique to pick up some extra speed. Took some skills not to get caught in the other kites' wash during the maneuver though. Great vid!

Re: Chris Krug's Xing Vid.
That is good stuff.....That big foil was fast no doubt! Chris had her moving nice in that light air...I am a sailboat racer at heart so had to try and fight him off at best I could with the machine just felt natural........ or atleast attempt to slow him down for fellow Westside Boy out front! Was like trying to race a semi truck against formula car...Not happenin.
Nice riding Chris was a pleasure to meet you and was fun doing some speed rips on Sunday too.
