Severe storm and flying toys

Postby Jojo1 » Sat Nov 12, 2016 8:17 pm

I share these video i mede in august 2012 when severe storm (Tramontana)surprised wery good level windsurfers in Savudrija(Croatia).It was visible when "the wall" was coming but almost all windsurfers were like hipnotised and nobody reacted until it was almost too late.Max gust measured by meteo buoy station was 68 kts.
Try not to get cought by these kind of weather with kite or it may be too late to react.
At 3:45 flying toys;)
Board after flying:
