Last Friday I went to Lake Lynn in Raleigh, which is about 5 minutes from where I work, and flew my modified dual stunt kite and did some juggling. It was about 27 degrees with a 12-14 mph nnw wind...kind of bitter, but it was sunny and I was dressed for the occasion. I really needed to get out of the office and I knew there wouldn't be a lot of people at the park. What a great time.
I have a HQ Symphony 1.8 kite and just love it. I took off the lines and attached two shoelaces I had in my car and came up with this really weird hybrid short line system that made a short kite that was really fun to fly. Add in some juggling and some filming with my GoPro, a little editing over the weekend, and I came up with the below video to document the occasion. I have to go real fast in order to set up, fly, juggle, film, and drive back to the office so I can make it in about an hour time frame...it's kind of a weird Mission Impossible kind of rush...but when I get back to work to deal with the real world I have such a renewed sense of making it happen and getting it done.
Heck I just spent and hour looking up at the sky, feeling a wind across my face that awakens the whole body, looking out over a beautiful lake and having an entire city park practically to myself. Not a bad way to spend a lunch break in my opinion. It fills me up and recharges my soul. Neat.
