First Slider Session of the Year

Yesterday was the start to another long stretch of SW winds in Cape Hatteras, NC. After a long day at work, I helped Sammy pull out the JWCF Slider for the first kite session of the year. Everyone had a great time and we rode the slider for hours. It was great to get back out there and hit the sliders. It seemed like everyone picked up their trick list right where they left off last year, which should make for a progressive season.

After a good hour on the water, I went to go grab the Go Pro camera to get a couple shots. Of course on my first hit I activated the quick release on the kite when I fell by accident, and poof the next thing I know Lulu’s brand new 10m Liquid Force Envy is hundreds of yards away flying towards the beach. After Lulu and Brian ‘BCS’ Smith came to my rescue, I tacked back up wind to try it again, but the battery was dead. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be… Maybe next time ill get some better shots from the camera.
