Maybe I got lucky, I’ve never had a zip fail

I had my 10m and 8m Enduro in the 13m Edge Bag before I sold them FYI

That 12m Orbit was nice and floaty! Can do some nice slow/powered down loops on it too coming out of jumps which is fun on bigger kites. Really liking that North bar too. Only perceived downside for me so far on the North’s - The backpacks are too small / tight in comparison to my old Enduro / Edge ...

I'm going to try and get down today - Doesn't look too nice again haha, such a shame as yesterday evening was amazing weather again

Wet in Porthcawl. Doesn’t look too inspiring

Just had a quick blast on the 12m Orbit with the Axis Foil. The extra depower throw on the bar compared to Ozone and light bar pressure is going to be sweet on the foil!

There goes the wind :shock: https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/69887537_10156619276146680_727922026672553984_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_oc=AQkwYFPyjzEWtHkNde1XW3EVuu8SFqdG-IKessESJRG72ZM3QsyE9kW6rvsydhIkRxk&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr3-1.xx&oh=d1b5ec57fb1b11525db67a99d8db7e53&oe=5DF212...

Long story short... 7/9/12m Orbit. Some chap in Belgium took my whole Ozone quiver

Got no kites

Can’t see anyone on webcam and looks super flat ?

I think the best thing about that Orbit is that it will be readily available to demo again whilst Marc plays around on his directionals :lol: Had 20mins on the 9m , decent hangtime, smooth and light bar pressure , good turning rate vs hangtime. Defo somewhere In the middle of the Ozone Edge and Ozon...

Just went out and it’s started spitting again so CBA

Hadn't seen this but could be interested in going out as part of a group

Would have been cool to try the Orbit! Tell Nik to stop hogging them

That was pretty fun when the wind eventually picked up. Started building up the muscle memory for frontloop kiteloops again - those feel so nuts!

Was about 1cm shy of landing on Richie's lap as well, quite romantic

Yup, that was pretty brief. Luckily it blew NW as I was getting in so could body drag out through the waves but that tide came in fast
