First Hawaii at 13,400' , now flying in Cozumel/Cancun at Sea-level

Taking my new Beamer 3m down to Meh-ee-co for Christmas week, should be rough.


Will post pictures...............any tips on how do you drink 2 Margaritas and fly twin handles at the same time?

All inclusive white sand beach front resort. Pour your own unlimited Corona/booze, 5 restaurant's, 4 pools, swim up bar, I hope there's room for the kites on the beach to put on a show for everyone......


Feel My pain with lows at 77 during the night and 82-83F during the day with a constant off shore breeze.......

I need a hat like that for buggying and filming with the quad copter. Good find Sam.
Sorry for your Christmas suffering windy. When you get back I hope to see your sunburn.:evil: Need to get you a new kite, with all that traveling it might make that beamer to pooped to fly. As long as it doesnt say "Soy una cometa beamer" when it gets back home.

Well depending on the size of the water bottles you could turn into a bobble head on bumpy terrain.

Buggying, filming and hydrating.... you might want to look at a Heads Up Chest Hydration Pack .

"Designed for situations like helicopter and heavy equipment operations where back mounted packs or water bottles aren’t practical."

can't
believe
it.


dead calm air on the island. Normally a good afternoon wind comes up on the east side of the island. Did get the Beamer up for a few slow lazy turns to show the surfers how we kite guys get our rush.


While using an outhouse Ban~o to relieve some pressure from many Cervezas and Margaritas consumed at the end of a deserted beach next to my favorite Cozumel Watering hole Mezcalitos

there IS a kite boarding passion in Cozumel as I was directed by the sticker on the top of the toilet.............that had no running water, you just sorta pee in a hole in the tile.

the last time I was down in Playa, did a little scuba diving and afterwards spend some time in the little tiki hut much like what you were just showing on the video, a little square Hut where the bartender stood in the middle and served drinks and everybody said around the outside edge, out in the bay was a couple little boats that surprisingly floated, and a little bit of a breeze blowing on shore.
sure do miss that warm weather, warm water, cheap drinks, and the quiet life style, and the all-day siesta. Hahahahahahahahaha
hope you are enjoying yourselfs.
