Training-Filled Saturday

The day started early with Johnathan from Nanaimo shaking off some cobwebs as he launched his new Airwave KISS into the still morning air (welcome back Johnathan!).

Let's see...also down from Nanaimo, Brett the Vet made an appearance, showing his Nepal Tour skills as he worked the good lift later in the day.

Shabe and Merwan put in some time with lots of strong wind kiting and lifty flights.

Mark from Pt Roberts was there with his niece, Jill, who hoped to complete the DayTaster course (she did a great job with the solo component but didn't get to have her tandem flight as we decided to give the mountain a pass today. Next time Jill!). Mark himself put in hours of kiting and flying, really getting a feel for the strong, cross-wind stuff!

As the day got stronger, Johnathan made some kiting progress.

And the news of the day was Saltspring Kuno had his first flights since Hawaii and was looking solid.
