Harley Mike meets his Big Mama at Belmont

June 24, 2010

Today was a big day for Mike Noel, aka Harley Mike, he has his new Wainman "Big Mama" and his new Liquid Force "Low Rider".

This is where the rubber meets the road, or "Big Mama hits the sand for the first time"

Mike made a beach donation to Kitesurfari. He said he bought this air hose extension many years ago and now he's found a new use for it, blowing up his kite.

Bill and Suzi look on as Mike tests the air on my kite. Bill suggested he hand pump Big Mama for the first time to make sure there are no folds in the bladders.

Robert, from Kitesurfari, came over to check on Mike. Just wanted to make sure everything was all right.

The two Big Mama's are ready to go. I launched Mike so I could take some pictures of him on the water. I'll join him in a few.

I guess you could say this is Mike's first date with Mama. The wind was still building so Mike wanted to get a running start.

Look at him fly. Mike was tearing it up today.

So were Suzi, Al and Trevor.

I don't know what happened to Suzi, but Mike joined Trevor and Al...ripping.

Al Navas was nice enough to take a shot of the two Big Mama fans. Taking a break before the wind came back.

Mike just didn't want to quit today.

You'll be seeing a lot more of this graphic at Belmont. There are now three Big Mama's. Come over and ask me to take a test ride.
