Getting owned (on camera)

I had a nice little swim at Bantham a couple of weeks back. I got munched and rolled by a wave, and binned the kite. My Go Pro HD got blasted off by the force of the wave, and went on a bit of a journey for a few days, and miraculously we found it washed up and it was 100% OK, even the footage was in tact.

I had to release the kite, and it also survived being washed into the rocks during a 3m swell with a couple of small holes. All in all, I count myself very lucky. Big thanks goes to the guys on the beach who kept an eye on me as I swam in.

Big thanks to Go Pro for making such a robust camera as well. We were sure it was mincemeat.

Oh and a big thanks to James at www.kentkiterepairs.co.uk for re-sleeving my bar and sorting the little holes in my kite. He's a legend.

2010 13m PD3 for sale - £350

Ex team rider kite, with a couple of minor pro canopy repairs in the wing tips. This kite doesn't look like it's had a great deal of use, and has just had one big impact which has been sorted. Bladders are solid and tested, material is pretty crisp.

This kite was instrumental in steering Pete Whiteley to his 2010 BKSA seniors title. By buying it you will no doubt inherit some of his mad skills.
