The 19m Boys Club
"Holding it down, since 20 knots!"
I'm sure it's open to gurlz too...
Was blowing fifteen knots today when I hit the water with the 19 Charger. When I came off it was blowing 20 knots with higher gusts. Talk about
feeling light on your feet. Was the first time in a long time I asked someone to help land the kite. Guy was a LEI flyer, so whenI asked I told
him to grap the spar on the edge.. he goes and grabs the kite like a LEI, so I popped the safety and it's flopping around and he has this bewildered
look on his face...
Was a fun day on the water.. overpowered, but fun. This mean I'm a member now?dylanj423 - 27-2-2011 at 01:34 PM
yup... the 19s are fun and surprisingly nimble... im sure yours turns quicker than mine... 1st good day of the year for kitesurfing and i gotta
work... wth, we are closed sundaysTaper123 - 27-2-2011 at 01:54 PM
Was perfect weather. Around 80 degrees and blowing 20 knots... Water felt good as well with just a short wetsuit on.BeamerBob - 27-2-2011 at 01:56 PM
We could eliminate "boys" from the name to avoid being exclusive. :bigok:action jackson - 27-2-2011 at 02:05 PM
Sounds like your a part of the crew! Wind gods teased me this morning but soon a sunset session will set things straight!....ajstetson05 - 27-2-2011 at 04:07 PM
you are doing better than me but then maybe then I guess that the 19m Speed 2.5 is quite a bit different than a 19m Charger. Funny, cause this whole
time I thought Kami was talking about a his silver arrow and not an arc.Kamikuza - 27-2-2011 at 05:31 PM
Speed2 19 in 20 knots? I think I've been close but it's not fun for my beginnerness - unlike the 19m Synergy which was rockin'!
... it was kind of a joke that those among us who are ahem gravity challenged tend to go out with the biggest kites we can while everyone else is on
tiddlers :D I guess I can change the title though Taper123 - 27-2-2011 at 05:44 PM
Kami... my 190 lbs was gravity challenged with a 19m Charger. I could barely feel the pull of the earth... but definetly feel the pull of the wind.Kamikuza - 27-2-2011 at 08:33 PM
that's the spirit :D
... better? stetson05 - 27-2-2011 at 09:11 PM

Thats good, I was feeling like maybe I needed to step up and rock a 19m in 20kts but there just was no way.Flying G Zeus - 28-2-2011 at 03:04 PM
I've had the Sp2 19m out in 20Kts. on 21m lines and a 135cm twin tip. Barely got the board wet. Memoreable.
that's the spirit :D
