It was blowing gale to storm force here on Vancouver Island this Sunday. Two other kiters out on 6m and 7m SLE's. They looked in control during lulls (35 knots), however the gust's to 48 knots put them in the danger zone. This was the perfect time to test the new 4m Rise. All pics feature the 2008 4m Rise kite and Mako 150 "Wide" board.

My weight 195 lbs. Wind ranged from 30 to 45 knots. RM out.

This place still feels like home to me, great to be back with old friends and put them on the Rise! Solid trades all week with five kites in the air all day right up until sunset. Exhausted and elated. The Rise is truly fantastic and work of both art and science. Ross, you are the man! Cheers, Evan
