Hi every. Trying to start a stoke thread here. So join in. Stories, videos, pics of what's makin your day behind the kite. Let's share some stories and keep the stoke going.

Iim only new to the sport so just happy every time I get out. Today however was the first time was really able to get going up wind. Really happy about it. Ear to ear grin. Doing the odd little pop here and there so feeling mighty cool as well :p
Putting away a dry kite with straight lines and having a blast in the sun is just making my day. Absolutely loving it. :D

There's enough strokers on this forum already thanks.....

There you go Trapped, made it easy for you, check the above link
And cheers with your stoke.

Why that was easy. Haha thanks

Well I'm currently not stoked because the bottom of my foot looks like a plum

It seems to be a thing for kiters to have sore feet.
No green arrows anyway so spent a while giving the kites a brush and hose this arvo.

Can we learn from other peoples mistakes?
<VIDEO SNIPPED>

I cannot believe you've wasted so much time and effort on putting that video together of someone's mishap on the trees. Like who cares? It happens everywhere, perhaps daily. So? Did anyone get hurt? No. Did the kite kill anyone? No. Did the guy learn a lesson. Yeah maybe.

You should be a business analyst - all blahblahblah, and no substance.

so surfingboye and kazan, whats been making you smile recently?

35 knots plus of cold winter wind and huge crunk boosts on a little c kite that punches through the sky like an evil wasp. And yelling out boost as loud as you can as you hurtle through the air above your mate completely out of control almost certain that you aren't going to land this one, or the next one!

Ahh you guys are making me jealous. We are lucky to get 14 knots here at the moment.

3.5m ground swell, 20knots, 16 seconds, fill the gap.
