maybe later tonight if doppler clears up..

got to the skyway around 6 rode for a few hours on my 8

Got there at eight, solid 20s and the sky looking good. Rode well powered for 15 to 20 mins on my 9M then mowed the lawn for an hour. I'm glad I went, really needed the stress relief. I should let him post it first but what the heck, Danny is landing handle passes!

Confirmed, good wind. I got there and there were about 3 or 4 kites on the water. Saw Matt, Chris, Bob, must have just missed Josh, and a few others. Rigged my 9 and rode well powered for awhile before it dropped... then it picked up again at 10 or so and I was lit on Danny's 15 fuel.

Danny is in the handlepass club. He landed dangle pass after dangle pass in the dark, no moon, new kite, and MY board. Way to go Danny, I guess I loose our little competition (see who gets them first). Dang I was so close.

Tried a few on his fuel until I realized it was a 5th line safety and only a foot deep. Did not want to break my neck so I elected to wait until the time was right. Ths 15 fuels BOOSTS though I have to admit I was darn impressed. Felt just like my old blood soaked 16 waroo (wind range) but it was faster and jumped better... landings were incredibly hard but I blame my timing not the kite... not used to it at all and it was too dark to figure it out.

Left @ 11, crazy Chris was still riding solo.

Danny, good job! I guess they aren't that hard if you are doing them.

:confused:

J/K
Thanx

now i just need to stick the landing so i dont sink... maybe i was just a little underpowered when i was trying them.... only getting about 6-8 ft high, so by the time i made the pass, i was only a few feet off the water without enough time to redirect the kite for the power

You may pull them but I guarantee my misses will be just as entertaining!! I do them as big as a can so when I fall it's a long long fall and a huge splash.

Similar Josh's slam after slam awhile back:

I'm almost sad that Danny is going to miss out on this soul growing experience.
