108 Journeys The wall ride Shall we set a wall ride up?
the perfect spot to set up a wall ride, but the only way that was going to work was with South West winds which unfortunately are very rare at this time a year. Apparently Craig and Vince had been there previously but didn’t get to ride them. We wanted to setup an incline rail up to the top part of one of the rock walls. The cliffs stick out and create little bays so it was just perfect to wall ride the top of the cliff and land on water downwind of it. A few days later, on a very cloudy and cold day Vince mentioned there was a chance of it blowing south west. That could be our only chance to ride that spot during our stay there so we headed to the beach. The wind was really light barely enough to ride but we still gave it a try. Drove the uHaul as close to the cliffs as possible and, carried the pipe and legs on knee-deep water all the way out there. It was very tricky to secure the pipe on the cliff. It was slippery and we were balancing it with a little rock we found. We went back to the truck and although we could tell it wasn’t windy enough I still decided to pump up my 14.5m Vegas and give it a try. To hit a set up like this you want to be powered and able to get more power out of your kite instantly in case anything goes wrong.
