anyone on here from the okc area. New to power kiting, just wanting to meet up and get some tips from some pros

I live in Woodward Oklahoma which is 2.5hr from the city. I fly in wheat fields around here and definitely do not consider myself a pro. I think
there are people who fly at or near lake Hefner in the city.

yea i drove by there over the weekend, but they were all kite surfing. nobody was on the beach.

There is a guy from OKC that's been on here, I think his name is powerkiter82 or something like that. My father flies at Lake Hefner (just stunt
kites), but has said he's seen a guy in a buggy there before.

John Romanek used to buggy at Hefner.
BigMikesKites - 13-4-2010 at 05:25 AM
Yes PowerKiter82 is from OKC. He came down to my area a couple weeks ago and we talked kites for a long time. he's a pleasure to talk to and just
a great guy. Send him a u2u here.

Not sure if you make it up to Wichta but there are guys out at Cheney Reservoir a lot. I will be in OKC this summer....
powerkiter82 - 8-5-2010 at 08:53 PM
I do live in OKC, I just have not checked this section of the forum in a while. Sorry I missed your request to meet OKC flyers. I usually try and make
it out to Lake Hefner to fly every other weekend if the weather allows of course. If anyone is interested just let me know and I will meet up with
you.
powerkiter82 - 10-5-2010 at 12:47 PM
ICTKITEFLYER, what brings you to OKC this summer if you don't mind me asking? If you want, I could show you some of the flying places around here.
ICTKITEFLYER - 10-5-2010 at 09:04 PM
I will be coming on down for radar school for air traffic control.....
powerkiter82 - 11-5-2010 at 07:32 PM
ICTKITEFLYER, if you get any free time while you are down here, and if you want, I could show you a few places to fly around here.
ICTKITEFLYER - 11-5-2010 at 07:34 PM
I will def meet up with you. Lake hefner was really close to where I was at last time and will prob stay there again. Hopefully I will have my buggy
and a new kiteboard to go with my kites.
powerkiter82 - 11-5-2010 at 07:45 PM
Hopefully the weather will cooperate while you are here. I have only been able to get out in the buggy 3 times since I bought it in late march. I
could definitely use more practice, but every time I plan to go buggy on the weekend, we either get rain right before and it makes the field to muddy
or the winds lately have just been crazy. As everyone knows with the T storms and tornados that hit yesterday, we had straight line winds anywhere
from 30 to 40 mph with gusts even higher and last night there where sustained winds that hit over 100 mph north of OKC. For most of the week before we
had 20-30 mph sustained winds with gusts even higher.

I just got my first power kite last weekend, a 3m beamer, and I live here in Oklahoma City. I've only flown it a couple times so far. I'm definitely
up for getting together.
powerkiter82 - 12-5-2010 at 08:30 AM
Jasapp, just let me know when you can. I am going to try and fly at Lake Hefner this Saturday morning if it does not rain.
