Ordered...

An Ultrafoil 15, 200m's of line, a simple GoPro rig and a big winder! All from the Kapshop in the Netherlands...


Did you know the GoPro hero 3 and 4 have a range of 180m's using the GoPro app? Should be great for some KAP.

KAP...

I have been looking at drones as away to try and get some aerial video/stills of the kite buggy in action, but maybe the cheaper option would be KAP (kite aerial photography) - inspired by +CiarĂ¡n May Birdseye Kite Photography ...


As I have a bit of cash I may have a look at this to see if it is a viable option. I would need a set up I could launch and leave and that would work with my GoPro.

Im thinking a few bits from the kite shop...


A HQ FlowForm 2.0

a simple GoPro rig
And line and a winder!

Sold...



I finally sold my MBS comp 90 on eBay, so I now have $300 burning a hole in my pocket!

I'm going to get a new Garmin Etrex 10 as mine was stolen a while back, and a bigger battery for my camcorder...

That should leave about $150 which I need to come with some ideas of what to spend it on!

Crowdfunding...


I feel a bit uncomfortable with this, but thought I would try crowdfunding to buy a Solo Smart drone..


I know I said I was in love with Lily! But the smart drone is more powerful and, I guess, just smarter.

Its been online for 48 hours and no interest, I've never been one for blowing my own trumpet! I may give it a few more days then delete it.

No chance...

of buggying this weekend - there is some wind, but it is going to accompanied by rain (and plenty of it) and maybe some thunder!


It's also blown any chance of using the new camper trailer.

From Poland with love...

I received a parcel from Poland yesterday, the stickers look particularly good on the back of the ute, I just need to find a way of using the flag...

For sale...

I'm trying to sell my MBS Comp 90 mountainboard, it's in excellent condition and wants to go to a good home!







Winter wind equation...

We are starting to get into the frustrating winter weather patterns...

Sun = No wind = Ozone Chrono 12-15m
Rain = wind = stay at home in bed!

The problem is I don't own a big Ozone Chrono!
