Hey Great Shots!!!
What exactly are you wearing on your feet?
I have OR Booties (5mm) but they are much taller and definitly thicker than what you are wearing...

Slippers? I got some 3mm Ion Ballistic slippers ... got them for the rubbish etc on the beach but only wear them when it's just a little cold now

Looks like he's got a set of them Vibram Five Fingers. There was a thread on those a while back.

The middle pic looks like tropical storm Irene with kite lines. You're not one of those hurricane flyers are you?

Nice shots and hello! Do you only kite surf?
Mostly Harmless - 23-8-2011 at 02:54 PM
Yup they are Vibram Five Fingers. The North and South shore of Long Island are very different animals. The south shore is just fine sand while the
north is a lot of rocks and course sand, I purchased the shoes to deal with the north shore (which works out very well) but now I just use them all
over so I don't have to change the straps on my board. Also I use them are my flip flops because they are really comfortable. They don't provide any
warmth though. It's getting to that time of year that I will switch over to my 3mm booties soon (I use excel with rubber bottoms for protection).
The middle shot is a failed back roll (did land a few ones, though the gopro didn't get those).
shehatesmyhobbies-only kite surf for now.
It's nice not being a lurker anymore.

Welcome !
I'm very interested in what you are getting for a bottom end on your Zypher ? A general short review of it would be nice!
Is this kite the low wind wonder I think it is? Would it suit a smaller person on land in 4mph wind?
Mostly Harmless - 23-8-2011 at 05:47 PM
With a door and with the tide going the correct way I can use the zypher in about 12 mph worth of steady wind. I really don't think it will get off
the ground in 4mph, I believe (I didn't get the wind reading) that I have flown it in about 8-10mph wind with a lot of effort (this was just flying it
in the air not in the water). But when it does go it pulls like a freight train. It has been my go to kite during the summer, my summer sessions
would have been cut in half with out that kite.
