21st May 2006.
Quick session today between rainstorms. It was blowing 20mph, so I thought I could justify a quick late afternoon session with the Dirtsurfer and Kitewing on Cleeve Hill.
I have always wanted to run from the common by the arials to the next hill top by the golf course. Well, today I managed it :-)
Very gusty, as the kitewing kept lifting over my head and behind me at times. Good fun though as I did 3 runs there and back (probably less than 1/4 mile each way), but the fun thing was that it was down and up the hill. Going down is a bit mad, as you could go flat out. I didnt, as it was so gusty, but powering up the hill is quite an experience. I've done it at the same spot using a normal power kite and a mountain board, but this was a first with Kitewing and Dirtsurfer.
Then it started to rain so I came home :-( what a wimp.

Wingsurfing is a new extreme sport that harnesses the power of the wind using a hand-held wing, the Kitewing, while the rider stands on a 2 wheel inline board, the Dirtsurfer.
