first impressions on the 20m....

conditions:
wind speed = 4-6knots gusting to 7 (measured)
board = size 11 Vans
water conditions = bottled

yeah... there wasnt any wind
but i did pump up the kite and it looks like its going to rock, and after looking at it for a good half an hour.... i figured what the heck, put on the harness and rigged the lines...
i decided to self launch since i was by my SELF, so i clipped the CL to a pole and set the kite up at the window expecting it to immediately fall over.... but it didnt, it just sat there.... so i ran as fast as i could to the bar and turned around just in time to see the kite....ummm... still just sitting there...weird....
so i hooked in and launched it.. it went to 12 o clock and sat there, i flew it for about 15min, looped it a few times, even had enough power to pull me across the ground, in 5 knots

so far, im well please with the beast, it even turned pretty quick for a 20m in 5knots

more to come....
