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!

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
