Kite Flying with 50mph + winds...FUN STUFF!!

Ok....so I know that kite-flying might be a bit childish, but man this was fun! My roommate has these two awesome stunt kites that he takes to the beach so we decided that with these 50mph winds that it might be fun to fly them....or have them fly us! Man!!! Once those things got in the air, they dragged us all over the place! On the big one, you hold onto a water ski rope handle and control it with that. That thing had some amazing power! When it was at about a 45 degree angle, the force of it would pull you so hard that it sent you running just to try and hold onto it. It was so much fun!!! Check out the videos so you can see just how crazy this was! Sadly, we learned the hard way that these kites probably aren't supposed to be in these kinds of winds since the strings on both kites busted from the force. It was fun while it lasted!
