Has Autumn finally arrived....?

The past week has been firing here on Guernsey. When I say firing, I mean it's been the best that we've had all summer! Two full on days kiting and one powered up session on the wave board with some lovely little waves at Vaz which was a real bonus. Check out the link to vivelabreeze.blogspot.com for Matt's low down on the windsurf session at Vaz.
The Torch has had a couple more outings, firstly with myself and Baz on Tuesday at Vazon and then on Thursday, big Danny boy put it through it's paces. The general consensus from the boys is that the Torch is a rocking kite! If your looking for some "C" shaped goodness then you can't go far wrong with this little beauty.
Thursday was also quite windy and it was a good time to get out my other new toy - the 9m Naish Bolt.
My initial thoughts are very good even though I was slightly under powered. The design is very similar to last years Cult so the flying characteristics are also pretty similar too. The de-power is really good and it's quick in the air as you would expect for a kite of this size. It's a great kite to fly, very easy and good in the waves and I'm looking forward to getting it wound up in a bit more wind.
Unfortunately I don't have any photo's of it yet as I was down the beach when everybody else was at work-That's the beauty of working shifts so mustn't complain, I could be stuck in a 9-5 nightmare!
Here are some photo's that Baz's girlfriend Mia took from our Vazon session on the Tuesday-Cheers guys..
