I finally got my first toe side rides, and full flying turns. This is on my new home made board, which is way lighter than my old "waltzing bear". 27 in mast. I need to build a new longer mast. It's going to be about 36".
Video is on Lake Michigan at the MacKites KOGL TestFest, at Grand Haven.

Nice work Saul Ohio, foil looks really smooth. Congratz on the flying turns.
Here's a vid I made during my summer trip to Sri Lanka.

Nice, great flow.
You got your options all dialed in. Can circle up or downwind at will and follow that kite wherever the hell you want all chill and relaxed.
Time to seek some swell...… or airs, or maybe a bit of both.

Hey Saul.
Congrats. I'd suggest a bit more boat speed to get to the next level. Smooths pitch which then boosts confidence.

great video, how do you get the camera to not invert when tacking? Is it the camera, a gimble? or software.
What camera you using?
