The wind picked up at the perfect time, early afternoon on Sunday. Westerlies built up from 6 knots to 12-13 knots in downtown Toronto, as about a dozen or so riders showed up at Hanlan's point on Toronto Island.
It was my first day out in two months. After having a kidney operation in early April and subsequently diagnosed with a kidney disease, I was ordered by the doctors to abstain from all physical activity for a while as my kidneys stopped bleeding. Heavy stuff, but over the last few weeks, as I waiting for the winds to come, I've been training hard at the gym.
As the winds built past 15 knots or more as a few fronts passed through, I was glad I had built up some muscle strength as I held down the power of the Element 15. The Element is such a sweet kite when it is powered up well.
If anyone is looking to try out a Switch kite, I've got two Elements for you to try. Looking forward to the next windy day! Steve
