That's the stuff right there! Had some of my best times in a huge parking lot and a NPW5 4.8 on just the handles and blowin in the high 20's. I think I caused about a dozen near miss car accidents, heard horns and tires in the background. I finally got around to building a kite specific long board from a mountain board deck and some 99 EBEC wheels that will roll over justa about everything in my path. Having it not be directional is the ticket to some great carving and trantitions from toe side to reg.
