First ride on a skimboard, March 9th

Post by Portland Pete »

March 9th
10MPH winds by the time I got to the sandbar.
Getting up and going with a 20M high aspect kite wasn't easy.
But once you were up and planing to build up some apparent wind I had plenty of power.

Aaron Sales was out on a 17.5 SS Machine and the SS Glide board.
He was absolutely killing it in light winds with that wide board.
