Every time I would cross his path my foil would thump. Much harder than anyone else. Plus he goes about 10% faster and 5* higher when pointing. Respect.

Nice video what drone did you film that with asking because only certain drones are now available in the US for security reasons?

Its a DJI mini 4K, which i wouldnt recommend for windsurfing. Get one that flys at least 20m/s. My understanding is that the drone ban in the US is only for non-currently owned drones.

Or you could build one from parts like my son did.
He's not having any trouble in 43 knot wind gusts.
I think it's a 5" drone.

I am very interested in building a 5 in drone. Was it very challenging for him?

It's only for Chinese made drones ie DJI. Drones by US companies are exempt.... not that there really are any US made drones.

yeah any drone parts or products out of china. But I believe the previously owned/purchased stuff is grandfathered in

No, but he is pretty techy. But pretty sure he just buys the pieces and assembles them. Seems a lot of it is getting it tuned correctly with software flight controller/telemetry etc. I suspect it's all pretty straightforward. I'll ping him for kit details and see if he has some recommendations.

The crew from Virginia Beach have arrived, I think they are not aware of Seabreeze so thought I would share.
