The last couple of days has just been incredible, lots of good kiteing, lots of wildlife, and Guro has started to bodydraging on her kite.
The new board is just fantastic, great pop, great control and great feel. I have finally gotten my tricks back, after 2 months of no kiteing … it takes about 2 [...]
