Tsu again. Forecast was good and the wind arrived; it was just late - as in, when I was packing up.
So I went out on the Speed3 12 at 2pm but wasn't having joy. At 3 I changed to the Pscyho4 19... better. But over-powered in the gusts and being blown downwind, yet I can't really jump properly. So it was a bit crappy...
Got lazy on the landing, just thought I'd pull the safety but I misjudged the distance to a log and ripped the kite :( the old "I've decided to sell this kite" curse strikes again. Not a biggee but damn annoying...
Weather was reported as 12 to 14 knots, gusts to 22. 22˚C at 41%.
Wind felt like a little overpowered in the gusts and underpowered at the other end.
What I learned today...
- Choose your landing spots and methods more carefully.
- Choose your kite more carefully - 13m XB would have been better.
- Might be time to dig out the t-shirt and short john suit.
