Went out today on the New T2 9M!

For anyone thinking of riding out in the Gorge on a tuff day make sure you have all you rubber on because its COLD!!!! You would not last more than a half an hour out there if you kite went down and you were stuck in the middle of the river. The water is freezing.

Remember...

Was out on a blade on Friday the 26th. Took about an hour to warm my feet back up from the blocks they'd turned into on the water. Next time I'll take your advice and bring a box of rubbers to wear on my feet.

70 degrees in the shade here in LaVentana. Rode the 07-9m Fuel yesterday. Slingshot seems to have all the goods this year for C-kiters and Flat kiters......

I can't wait to ride these new Fuels back home in the Gorge and the Coast!
