Beach Boarding

Got to cleethorpes today, I'm determined to crack landboarding.

It's been a while since we've had anything remotely beyond a gnats fart recently.

Had fun today but whoah was it gusty! seemingly from 0 to 30 winds quite rapidly. Even the seasoned pros packed up after lunch and went home as it was just crazy and unpredictable.
It was fun at times but I had to pull my safety once as even max-depower and brakes wouldn't get the kite down during a prolonged gust! Big Fun.

I also tried out my 3.6m Beamer II in the high winds but it just kept collapsing and was nothing other than hard work. I think this will be the last time I fly it now I've gone over to de-power.
