K2 Test – Oct 9
Return to News
We got a bit of a late start getting out on the water, launching as the sun was setting, which made for some beautiful photos. It was a short test, but it went smoothly. We brought out the 50 sqm kite again. Before launching the big kite, we briefly launched a blue Dacron lifting kite from the Protector. We had hoped to film K2 and the big kite using the rokkaku, but it turned out to be a flawed model and we could not keep it in the air consistently. Allen Smith joined us on this test. He contributed a stabilized GoPro mount, which we mounted on the stern pole, but it proved to be less effective than the fixed mount.
