I'm lazy

Been too long since I actually wrote a proper post. Where to start hmm. Think I've managed to get out nearly every weekend since Christmas and I'm making huge progress and actually feel pretty competent now. Trying to work on my kite skills as buggy control is spot on. Still need lots of practice with upwind turns which requires turning away from the kite and allowing the lines to go over your head but beach conditions are improving so il be able to spend some time on them. Set a few new personal bests so far. 43.2 was set extremely overpowered on a 3m mk1 Brooza and scared me bad. :D conditions where nearly 40mph winds. Spent five minutes getting myself upwind and in a position to get maximum distance for a downwind run and let rip. From start to finish the run took less than 40 seconds including stopping the buggy sharpish before hitting the sea wall. Also set my current pb of 44.2 on Monday just gone. Much more controlled and didn't scare me one bit. Wind was mid 20s xon shore and I took my time getting as far around the bay as possible to give myself a long run. Start off working the kite hard to get a respectable speed up before hitting the sweet spot and opening the taps for a downwind run. Wkd buzz and all my runs were into the 40mph. Great day. Vids bellow. Trying to build courtneys confidence so decided to take her out in the tandem buggy a few weeks ago. A great day was had by all involved and il post up the video bellow. Moving on nicely but don't recon I've got much time to improve my speed before the warm summer winds turn up.
