Storms and Squalls
Quote:
Just a discussion point from my observation. What i see is a hell of alot of downwind space (at least several hundred yards if not more) before the windsurfers. The windsurfer doing the "emergency jibe" was coming back in at a high rate of speed and probably wasnt even seen as a threat when the jump was made. The second jump appeard to be a "holy sh!t" jump to get out of the way of the group of windsurfers and what he did probably avoided a major mix up. That second jump was also intitiated well upwind of those windsurfers. Also, on his second jump the kite got behind him and it looked like it wasn going to recover from a stall with a hard jerk and he intentionaly went to the 5th to depower the kite. We are talking eye opener record setting distances and height here so were traditonal precautions observed? Dedinitely risky conditions but I didnt hear you call out the windsurfers either. Everybody there that day was taking a major risk. Last edited by ricki; 06-16-2010 at 07:23 AM. |
