Trashed by Ice

Igor, Kite, Ice The cold didn't get me today, at least not in the way I expected. I got a few runs on Igor's new board, Glide by ABoards. I love this board for light winds! It planed thru the lulls like Frank's Door 64. Trashed by the ice- I was self launching off a beach anchor when a line got caught on a chunk of ice. The kite went straight up, spiraled, then crashed hard into the dunes & beach grass. It created a 1" tear in the canopy and a slow leak in the main bladder. This made for a dissapointing end to my session. I took a few runs on my landboard so I could finish on a happier note. Happier Note- Igor was hitting it today! He got his first real runs. I saw 1 long one in particular. Nice progress on a frigid Winter day! Bottom Picture- my hot tub for toes. Chapin, Kitesurfed, NW, 8-20, 12 M Kite/ Glide 154 x 48, With Igor, 29 F Temp, Sunny.
