2025 04 06 - Seaford new kites

 James had his first session on his new kite, I've got my new red boy up and going, Styles and Mark also hitting a perfect 20 knots with some nice little waves.  Fun session and equipment held up !

2025 03 29 - Hampton safety go pop

 Fun session at Hampton on the new kite.  It's really great for rotational jumps as it is so stable in the air - worked on rotations both ways.  I'm getting used to the way it flies too - really needs a yank to do a kite loop so gradually my backroll transitions are getting better. Later in the session I went for a frontroll on my non preferred and right at the apex - with me facing the other way - the safety popped.  I wound the kite in and scooted in - but couldn't find my board for a while afterwoods.  Unsurprisingly it went with the wind further along in the bay - luckily Mark spotted it.  Another cracking session but these bar failures are a worry !  Considered buying a new bar but exchange rates are rubbish so I'll wait a bit.
