Today the wind blew how it is supposed to. If you think been in the wind is easy your are so wrong. After a full day in the wind wearing a wetsuit, jacket and MX goggles to keep the elements out, we are all totally dead.
The guys were kiliing it today with a lot of kiters getting over the 50 knots mark. A couple of kites got totally trashed as well as a couple of people, one kiter had to be sent to hospital. We will know tomorrow what the final results are.
