Pffft. A huge chunk of my flying is inland and it always makes me chuckle when people slate it. Yeah it is more bumpy and more interesting. Some times the gusts and average wind speed difference is just too much.

 

However, hanging off an arc, when a few cheeky gusts come into play is great fun. The board speeds up and it puts that smile back on your face.

 

It is just a case of getting used to it :)

I know the feeling when you are so down you want to get rid of everything and do something else.

 

But don't despair, drink will sort you out and make you think more rationally.

 

my advise, move CLOSER to the beach. Which ain't actually much better as I live about 2miles away from a great beach/site, but even that 2miles (often walk it with dog) makes me get almost angry when the weather stalls out on me :mad:

 

and xcweather is pretty good for me. It predicted NO wind for sundays BKSA champs at barrow, and bugger me it was right, more wind in a nursing home :rolleyes:

lol, hanging off an arc when it's overflying,flapping about like a giant seal and generally just trying to kill you aint no fun. probably more to do with turbulance than gust's. gust's aint too bad,it's the messy s**t thats a pain in the ass!!!:eek::)

Learn to fly them, keep the kite moving. Come up to cleeve - the main kite flown there is arcs, and it is generally clean but you get your bumpy days. It takes practice and skill to fly in those conditions, they aren't ideal, but damn, when you get used to them they are fun :)

lol, had me phantoms for nealy 3 years now (i think:confused:) can fly em with me eye's shut:) the scorp is a different kettle of fish though!!! flown on the beach for 95% of the time though:D gust's i can handle,turbulance just makes things to unpredictable for my liking.
