Name: Carl '999' Pennington

DOB:  17 / 10 / 1964

Where are you from?:Wigan.

Job:   Paramedic.

Team - Turbulence Land Team

Years riding: Two years.

Rides: Slightly modified Flexifoil Buggy, Flexifoil Sabre 9.5m & 11.5m, Flexifoil Blade’s

Favourite spot: Somewhere with nice winds & firm sand. No where in particular. I like to travel around, meet new people & enjoy the challenge of a new site. I usually travel to a Welsh beach!!

Dream session: 20 – 25mph of clean onshore wind./ Free trip to A&E for a short stay in one of the NHS’s lovely hospital’s!

Favourite trick: reverse arial 360 down looping transition, when I land it. I just love them all, in the air or on the ground. 8mph of wind means “fun to be had”.

  

Your main goal in the sport: To have fun & I always enjoy helping the less experienced riders progress within the sport. On a serious note I would also like to improve casualty assessment & treatment for those unfortunate enough to get injured whilst taking part in our great sport.

Other sports: ski-ing, anything that gets the adrenalin pumping.

Results history: Kitejam 2004 silliest riding style
