arkay - 6-3-2010 at 11:10 AM

6/8/13 ssw right now... very cloudy but no rain yet. noaa says 80% rain afternoon, but who knows. kitesurf jsut updated their afternoon wind to W
20-25 If that works out with no rain that'd rock. Maybe I'd get to
take the charger out on the water

SSW 6/10/13, sky is looking darker but no rain yet! Low tide is upon us. Radar is looking better, for what that's worth. I might try to launch the
charger again if I can shake free 50% chance the forecast of 70% chance of rain
is 25% wrong.

I went out... 8/15/18 then 13/17/21 but as soon as I got setup it started raining. I found out the hard way that is seems the charger doesn't really
like rain, esp with lighter wind. I'm guessing the rain pushes the air out of the kite, and since there's no central bridal it turns into a very
acute c-kite Pulling the center line way in helps a bit, but really once it gets
moving it seems to be ok. Just don't stop and don't transition slowly.
vwb you didn't miss anything, except wet frustration. My guess is that Sat was the last good weather til nabx

damn, I hope you went to the coast today. the wind looks solid. and here I am in a meeting looking out the window at the trees.
sunset-Jim - 8-3-2010 at 07:16 PM
