So, yeah, this was me on Sunday afternoon:



I mean, that's not actually me, but in principle. There was almost no wind, so just keeping the kite in the air proved impossible. For a brief moment, though, the wind blew, and I jumped on the board, and all in all, it felt good. I think it will feel better with a proper breeze.

We also used the mountainboard on its own. The hill at the back of Streatham Common is now the training slope, and we hope to find something a bit more interesting as a beginner's slope, on Bank Holiday Monday, and hopefully a bit of a breeze. And I'll take some real photos, so you can all have a giggle at the slightly podgy, slightly too old guy on the overgrown skateboard.
