Is officially a light wind beast. Left work today bored and went down to the beach when i saw some flags blowing on my way home. Ended up being about 9 knots gusting to max 12 knots. I saw a couple of riders on North R5 18's working their kites and losing alot of ground (walking back up the beach) so i figured i'd really see how low this 21 BFK can go. Rigged up, went out on my Uground FLX 142, and was ripping upwind from then get-go. It was quite funny seeing the North riders start well upwind of me on the beach and me start well downwind, and after one pass out and back i was to where they started (upwind) and they were down where i started (downwind). I was even able to get some speed downwind and hit gusts right and get a bit of air, but got pretty bored after riding about an hour and a half. Still great to get out and have a decent sesh as it had been about 2 weeks due to work being hectic.

Sweet!! Mine is the same way! I enjoy getting the session in, but get bored quick when having to manage upwind and wait for gusts to do tricks. I just really enjoy smaller kites. My big kite turns a bad trip into a good trip, but not a good trip into a great trip. Its much better than sitting on the beach, but not the intense ride Im addicted to.
