Windy hobbies

Hey y'all! Here I am again weblogging my life. Since not much is going on I'm gonna write about what lately happened to me and my kites.

First of all I've added another kite to my collection, the first one of this kind. It's HQ F-Box "Beach". Yes, it's a tiny little box kite made in china under German brand HQ. It's only 100x85cm in size, made of polyester, fiberglass frame, several rubber parts and the line. It's not stable in the air, but looks pretty good. And it doesn't require strong wind. On the other hand if the wind is too strong you can customize the kite: attach the line to another know or take the additional wings off. Here's what the kite looks like on my office floor:

Last weekend me and my colleague Valdas decided to go powerkiting since he got a landboard and a control bar for his 7 square meters Beamer III. I thought my 5.5 sq.meters outa space was tough, but it's nothing compared to the Beamer. This thing is simply unstoppable. We didn't succeed in connecting the bar the way it should be done and that's why the push/pull was inverted. After several drops and falls I tried the landboard using my own kite. And it worked for some time. The main problem was the landscape...it was very rough and the board kept stopping.

Two days since then I still feel a little pain in my muscles, but this was a nice 3 hours with Valdas not behind the tables in the office.

Here are several pics of the ground after me falling down, my pants and some of the the inventor:

 

Sorry for the quality, because the pics are taken with my phone. The camera is still broken. But I'll tell you something in advance: I'm waiting for a brand new smartphone to arrive. It will have 3mpx camera and many other features. But...we'll come back to this subject when I'll have it in my hands. :)

That's it for now. Peace

 

By the way...this Friday Kosheen is coming to Lithuania and is gonna perform for free!!! 21:00 @ Cathedral square, Vilnius. Here's one of my favorite songs by Kosheen to help you make your mind up:

I'M NOT GUILTY ANYMORE (you are, you are)
