Kick's 16 on Carlyle Lake

Short video of Steve and Sarah enjoying the fresh winds at CLR 2012.  It was a bit rocky that day so the camera is a bit jumpy.

Cool video. I was supprised seeing how well the 16 handled in those conditions. I really am looking forward to taking my 16 out for the first time. I have been working bringing it up to date since I purchased it.

Wish more people would post their videos. Extremely cool.

Have you heard or seen of the kite camera (not sure what it is actually called) that you can fly behind your boat. The aerial footage looks as if someone has videoed you from a helicopter or something.

If you search YouTube for "Go Pro"  or "Dana 24" you will find several videos of a guy using a Go Pro camera.  The ones where he attached it to a kite are pretty neat.  I really like them because they feature the Pacific Seacraft Dana 24 which is one of my dream boats.

I agree that videos of people sailing are really fun to watch.

I also love the Dana (and, of course- the Flicka). Seems that the Dana would be a logical blue water next step from a Compac 23. I try not to look too hard at either of them...my 23 seems to know and gets mighty jealous!

Thanks Mike. I will defiantly have to check it out. That would be pretty cool to post a video like that of a 16. Hmmmm.

That "Dove" movie is really getting old watching...

   i guess everyone noticed that the pin holding the motor up had broken. rest assured that a little later i fixed it with a bungee cord. i didnt have duct tape to do a permanent repair. always great to see oneself out of control and without a clue.
