Anyone going to be in SC near Kiawah island the week of the 27th of March who would be willing to let me try out some modern (>07) C kites or some SLEs/hybrids?

can't remember the last time i pumped a kite,

sorry i don't have anything within those limits,

i think i gave away the one that would pump, anyway haven't seen that one for awhile.

pray for SSW, but expect West and brace yourself.

Would he be willing to break it out for me to try it? That was actually one I had been looking at, seems like a decent kite from what I've read.

I'll be glad if I'm kiting at all when I'm fifty, let alone pumping LEIs by hand:singing:

I'm going to be down there the weekend after you Power. Let me know if you find a good spot on the beach to landboard.

power - 5-3-2010 at 09:03 AM

I sure will, too bad you're going to be a week late.

DToast,

Are you going to Kiawah, IOP, Folly, or Sullivans? Bringing a board or buggy? Wet suit?

Heck, I figure to still be learning and expanding at 50, but don't see myself pumping any tube kites though. Can't rule anything out though. You guys have fun in SC. I'll be there next weekend.

Easy there,power, a lot of us are 50+ and still kiting! Keeps us young!

I like that attitude Bob!

acampbell - 7-3-2010 at 08:08 AM

I'm 50 and I can pump all I want. I've just learned that I don't have to...
