Good wind is forcast for Friday eve and Saturday..
Come on down so I don't have to kite alone.....
Unfortunately high tide is late in the day so buggying might be tough...
Beach will be crowded, but w/ south winds easy to get out to sea away from swimmers...borntofli - 13-8-2010 at 06:03 PM
You centexers missed out today.... Winds picked up to 20 this afternoon... Had a great session in the waves... Forecast for tomorrow is up to 25 in
the afternoon....Tell the wife you have something to do and get down here to the beach.....mdntdncr - 13-8-2010 at 08:38 PM

hahahahaha . . . It's not the wife I'd have to worry about . . .
It's the bossman, eh? . . . of course, after I lost my job, then I'd have to worry about the wife :wink2:borntofli - 19-8-2010 at 11:11 AM

are you gonna be camping on the beach? I'll drive down there Sat. and look for a kite......wind has been light lately, but around 5pm it picks up a
little...13-15 kts...
bring your big kites....van - 2-9-2010 at 05:42 PM
I'll be staying at my mom's in Rockport during the holiday so I was gonna drop by on saturday and sunday. I usually try to go by there in the
afternoon so around 3pm until dark.van - 7-9-2010 at 11:43 AM
Borntofli,
did you get a chance to make it out there on the weekend? I was there on saturday and sunday from 3pm-7pm. Had a blast with my 15M phantom and the
landboard. The wind picked up on sunday around 7pm so I got over powered pretty quick. I was hoping you would bring that buggy of yours out!!!borntofli - 7-9-2010 at 05:24 PM
unfortunately I sold my buggy...I ended up kiting up by the pier , there was some nice clean swell up there.....g-force junkie - 7-9-2010 at 05:37 PM
borntofli,
I'll be down there this winter for two weeks, have a good friend at Aransas Pass but will mostly be down by South Padre, just don't know when would be
best, maybe you could let me know what months are best.

Hey borntofli,
You seem to be the local Port A expert. I'm watching the winds and it looks like Port A is shaping up for Sat. and Sun. with East winds. Is it cool
to ride just south of the jetty there at Nueces Co. Park or is that a no-fly zone because of swimmers and surfers? Looks like it would be pretty cool
in a NE wind.
Let me know if you or any the local crew will be out.
Thanks,

According to wind guru friday looks good and Sat. mediocre... The wind is usually best from 5pm till dark..... I kite between the jetty and the pier
all the time....Swimmers be damned....... Not so many people at the beach this time of year....
If its over 10 kts i'll be out...If it gets over 15 there should be some others too....
How do you like your 12 rise?? I just got one but haven't had it out of the bag yet...I tried my 8 rise the day of the hurricane and liked it
alot.....wind-dave - 14-9-2010 at 02:12 PM
Yeah...I shouldn't look at the forecast that far out. I'll keep an eye but it will have to improve to justify a trip.
I'm 99% sure you bought your 12m from my buddy up here (Chrys R.). I love that kite but it's the best I've ever had so I can't compare it with too
many others. It's my main kite in my quiver up here so it gets used a bunch.
If the forecast improves I'll definitely be heading that way.
Dborntofli - 15-9-2010 at 05:22 AM
Actually I bought 2 kites from him... They look like new.... The wind forecast is looking better for the weekend....wind-dave - 15-9-2010 at 07:44 AM
He does take good care of his stuff and is a good rider so he never crashed those kites I can remember. Especially the 8m, only saw it fly a couple
of times.
I noticed the forecast improved also...getting siked! I'm going to work Fri morning and head down around 11 so I should hopefully get in a late
afternoon/ evening session. I'll look for your kites if I make it.borntofli - 16-9-2010 at 07:02 PM
Looks like 20 kt wind for Friday and Saturday..... Anyone in need of a kite fix, come on down.....looks like a little wave action too from the
hurricane south of us.....
Looks like i'm gonna have some unhappy customers, when the wind blows, I gotta go !!!!wind-dave - 20-9-2010 at 06:45 AM
Hell ya...that was some awesome riding on Sat. Brian.
Glad we made it down and got to ride with you and Arron. Man, I want more surf riding bad. That's the second time I hit that stuff and had no idea
how much fun it would be. That surf felt huge.
I'm usually a flat water rider down there but not anymore.
See ya the next time.
Daveborntofli - 18-10-2010 at 04:11 AM
Calling all Texas kiters....... The forecast is for 20+ winds Sat. and Sun..... Swell forecast is 6-7'..... Come on down and play in the waves w/
me.......dylanj423 - 18-10-2010 at 05:08 AM
