Default Flyersurfer Speed 19 + Spleendoor 159 Ultimate light wind combo

I went to Cypress today and not enough wind to pump my biggest kite. However, I saw Tony flying his new Flysurfer Speed 19 and asked him if I could borrow it. Never flown a foil kite before but I was pretty impressed with how little wind the kite needs to give you enough fun to ride. I believe it was blowing 10-11 knots. Later I borrowed a Spleen door 159 and I just couldn't believe how much upwind I was going in 10 knots!! The foil kite is slow versus an inflatable kite but still enough to put a smile on me.

Tony suffers a terrible illness known as WCA or White Cap Addiction. The illness has now spread to the next phase called NWCA or No White Cap Addiction. The final phase of this illness has catastrophic results. NWA or No Wind Addiction. Currently there is no cure. A fund has been set aside to help Tony.
