This looks awesome, but isn't it rare to find ice this smooth? And don't you need smooth ice for this kit?

[@TheRealJeremyJones]

You can find smooth ice like this shortly after lakes freeze over. The Switchblade kit can handle rough ice with no problems, smooth ice just allows more speed and is more visually appealing.

@@TheRealJeremyJones Thanks!

Looks like fun, but the logistics of trying to tack upwind by making a turn that leaves your body facing into the wind, while you fly the kite behind your body, seems a little awkward, and of course there's a cut in the video where you switched from that backwards orientation to facing the wind so you could make a sliding jibe.

[@TheRealJeremyJones]

It's a blast! The transitions are the same as on snow or water, heel to toe and toe to heel. I've actually been able to do some transitions that I couldn't do on water like toeside to blindside carves, video coming soon!

+you learn to fly the kite alot by feel so you don’t necessarily need to look at it all the time

[@daemn42]

@@F2FK_Advantures Not talking about feel, but the fact that when you're on a toe side edge with the wind in your face, the kite is *directly* behind your body and pulling on your harness and arms.. which you know generally point the other direction.
