Day 47 of the 2015 season: Pinconning to Linwood - EPIC kite downwinder






EPIC Pinconning to Linwood downwinder session.  One of my best flat-water downwinders to date.
Depowered line pulled all the way out the entire session with very gusty/punchy winds aloft.
The slicks were awesomely butter smooth I could really edge hard to assist the boost in jumping.
29 miles in 2.5 hours of downwind bliss. Then an hours local session to the slicks add 15 miles there.
Scratch this Pinconning to Linwood downwinder off of this summer's bucket list.
