Flying a Hobie 14 video on Lake LBJ, Texas, October 2006

During my class Sunday, October 1, 2006, we were sailing between Applehead Island and Granite Shoals on Lake LBJ when Mike came by on his Hobie 14. I asked him to fly a pontoon for this video. Mike was glad to oblige, and we had plenty of wind. As you can see he flew several times, and didn't pitchpole, he's quite good! While he says he has flipped before, I've never seen it.
