Who is kiteboarding ????

At 210lbs I'd need a silver arrow and a big @$$ door

As long as you cut it well once, maintenance would be a matter of getting a proper hitch for the buggy.



Two birds, one stone and all that. ;-) :wee:

ATB,

I started out on water but found out that I suck on a board. + they outlawed us on my local bay.

Then I met Keith Kalio at the Montana snowkite rodeo. R.I.P. . He was skilled at all things wind realated. He had an , I want to share the wind with everybody in all ways attitude that was just amazing. It was by His example that I decided to embrace all forms of sailing the wind. I try to be competent at all forms so I can ride with anybody but still have work to do on water.

I taught myself to ATB. My options on water are polluted or glacier runoff cold. I find it hard to convince myself to head out.

Hey, at least if you say you spent the day "mowing the lawn" you were being productive! Anyway, I've always thought about getting one of these for all that driftwood/debris at Southwick Beach.

Oh boy would that be the best excuse to kite. Ummmm.... Dear I'm just gonna go cut he grass you know its not gonna be windy the rest of the week and that grass is getting too long already. :wee:

good to see so many of you takin or soon to be takin to the aqua..................keep in mind that your land skillz will pay dividends on the water............remember to let the kite pull you downwind, build speed, then set your edge and work upwind. Most of all watch your bar position. You will find yourself choking the kite with the bar pulled too far in (its a natural reaction to pull). Second, edge control is thru your hips so dont forget to lean back. This will assist you in holding your edge and working upwind. Once your upwind, its all gravy from there......................:duh:

Both....either buggy or landboard Mon-Fri and then the ocean on Sat and Sun (if wind permits). Love both the land and water but the water is definitely my favorite. Nothing quite like surfing without the paddling...

I'd do more landboarding ... if we had more land :o water is simply easier to get to here so it's totally taken over - I haven't touched my landboards in a couple of years
