I recruited Mark this afternoon at Rabbit Island Beach to get some photos of my new (second-hand) kite, that I bought a few weeks ago. I have dubbed it 'the snot-rag' because of its colour and age. Also at the beach was Marty and Dave. I had several good races with them, particularly Marty, who was flying his 15m Phantom. My little 6.3m 'snot-rag' Arc was a good match, in fact it was all they could do to stay with me. A couple of times we raced to the end of the beach, about 5km away. We would leave at the same time, race full speed for 5km, arrive within twenty seconds of each other at the far end...close racing indeed, but he just couldn't get past me.
"No more head-starts for you", was Marty's only official comment.
In this picture of the "snot-rag" flying, it looks like Marty has had enough of a beating, and is packing up his blue Phantom in the background :)
