Hey bro's and bro'ette's

I got a trade in katana kiteboard from decay. It was entirely white and just screamed out paint me.

So in a moment of inspiration i slapped the naki down.

i'm pretty stoked. it came out sweet.

Sweet! Bit of airbrushing there?

Living on fumes eh?

Don't overdo it though. I've been doing stupid hours for the last two weeks and I'm still waking up tired with a tension headache after three nights of good sleep and kiting sessions.

yep lots or clear coat. but not 2 pot mix. just standard old urethane i had lurking. the paint job was done on a zero $ budget just from stuff lurking in my garage.

If it gets worn off so be it.

yep. already done some body dragging solo launch and land and water re-launches. now i need 15knots for the getting up and planning practice. forecast for the next week is sea berazes 10-12 knots.... so i might not have enough wind. if thats the case i'll be fangin on the edge on land to get used to it more.

do you recon i could get up and planning in 12 knots on the 140 katana?
or am i best to wait for more wind?

What no surfboard? Worth a try... it'll be a grovel though and light wind is a b'stard to learn in. Rather wait on proper wind and ATB it in the mean time.

If the wind is light enough I might go get lofted on the 12m Yak later today
