Today’s session took a while to come around. We were supposed to get a strong SW wind before the switch to NW kicked in. However, the wind didn’t come up until the NW came in and a strong cell passed over us. David, Ed, Ryan and I played around in the slick. I pulled my brand new crispy 2009 Liquid Force 8m Havoc out of my truck. I absolutely loved this kite. I didn’t feel like I had a ton of power, but I was cruising up wind will little effort. It was very stable and good turning speed. It was very cold and after being unable to land any tricks because my feet were completely numb I headed in.
