A Strange Wind Blowin'

Date: 5/30/09 (33rd day in a row)
Place: Cosmo Park, Columbia, MO
Kites: E2 on 85'
Wind: 8 - 16 mph, S and SW
Weather: Sunny, 70-78º

There was an odd wind today, at least near the ground. It was a medium strong wind up high, but almost zero closer to the ground. This made getting into and holding fades challenging. It may have been because I was flying in a different field (near my favorite) that has trees nearer to it and is about 3 or 4 feet lower than the adjoining soccer fields.

540s and backspins were very nice today. I tried flic-flacs at a much higher altitude - they worked OK up there.
