Guys, had an absolutely epic last min session.

We flew from 6pm till the sun went down. We had a bang onshore easterly and were powered to the absolute ***** on our 6.5m Blades.

I was throwing some massive 180's, 360s and 540's out there. Was absolutely amazing.

One scary moment was when one of my lines snapped on take off for a one handed invert. The mainline sanpped and i got dumped. Happened when i was only about 2ft up, when the load is greatest.

It seem Flexifoil extreme lines are not as extreme as i need them to be lol. They have a breaking load of 250kg and ther are 4 on each kite lol!!!

Gotta get some Ozone 360kg lines this week. Pisser!

Really dont want a line failure in competition next week!

We too have said we'd like to see you guys in action - but you can guarantee the wind will have dropped by the time we get from deepest Hertfordshire!

Must say we enjoyed the You Tube clip Kite 1 Dazza 0 (thanks Bri4n!!)

Cheers guys. Looks like a wet weekend and its gonna be blowing its **** off. Pretty daunting to be honest.

Already had a call from Will McKean, (Already parked up), he said its like a VW fest there with all the campers and all of the pro kitesurfers are already there.

Cant wait to get down there and rip it up with the big boys
