Eastbeach was great yesterday. Wind was good in the morning 20+ kites in the air, then dropped so that I had the whole place to myself for over an hour right in the middle of a Saturday afternoon kind of a bazzar feeling.

yes, big fat old man having lots of fun in no wind. Acutally it was not the SA (silver arrow) model, it is a stock flysurfer speed 2 19m. The silver arrow is the same kite model made out of a lighter fabric that is white/silver in color.

Dude that air foil rocked man. I couldn't quite keep up with you on the 16M SB2 when the wind died down.

Looks like fun!

What is the low end of the speed II? I've heard you can stay upwind with a big board in about 6-7 knots and get good jumps in 10 knots. True?
