One time in the year we must go to the German north sea island Langeoog. There we spend our summerholyday every year. I spend my time with kites and of course KAP. This year my equipment exists out of two different Flow-Form Kites with 1,75 und 3,2 m² aeria, the hexagon "Ghost Buster" and my KAP-Rig with the SONY Digitalkamera.

Here at the dunes in the Pirolatal the "Blanke Hans" (storm tide) almost hits every year and fetches a large portion of the Herrenhus dunes. So that the sea doesn't break through here, the dunes must be fastened man made. The marram takes on the task of the fastening the dune with his long fast growing roots.

On August 04th I have gone to the baech after dinner to make some photos of the surfing school. The sun was already deep in the sky and the shadows were long so that the light was already reddishly warm. I have made the first tests with my Flow Form #1. But this kite was not flying good and always put himself on the left side. Later at home I found out, that the lines, that hold the profile in the back area of the inner kite was loose fluttered and so that profile wasn't correct on the left side any more. I took the FF#2 and made some pictures before the sun was down and the light was to dark for making pictures. If there is low light, the automaic of the camera takes a low exposuretime and the pictures are blurred.
