I'm flying today! Lets meet up!

DAKITEZ - 11-11-2007 at 09:39 AM

I'm headed for the sod field in Davis if noone is there or no wind I'm headed toward ocean beach till I find wind. Surf report says 20 - 25 mph at ocean beach I'm just not sure if its covered with oil or not. I hope to get some flying in today.

Thanks Zloty I didn't have to go that far. I met up with Sthrasher38 in Davis. This is him on his Blade 2 6.4.

Thanks Sthrasher38 for letting me try your Bullet and it was good to me you and your family. Hopefully we will be flying together again soon. Now I need to try and get the grass stains of my shorts !! :lol:

Thanks for posting the pics. I have not figured out how to down load attachments yet hopefully you can post the pics I try to get to you. Thanks again.:thumbup: As far as the stains go just leave those as kiting pants.:lol: I really wanted you to try the Blade. Glad you were smart enough to say you were not ready for that yet. But I would have held onto you with the rope!:saint:

Zloty, whats the oil spill situation like in the bay and on the beaches ?

zloty - 11-11-2007 at 10:44 PM

Me and few other local kiters did some OB cleaning today.Situation is not to good.We spent over 1 hour picking up oil from sand I had almost 1 gallon of this nasty oil and than I started to kite again while some LA company army of workers still where picking up small oil spills. Feel free to stop by during the week and pick some up every hand counts.

KYTE SLINGER - 12-11-2007 at 07:11 AM

right on Slawek... hope the spill does not run down south.


our beach had a oil storage tank back in the 60s and every now and then you'll find little tar balls{ happen mostly from large amount sand remove either by wind or waves} ....frickin sucks when you unexpectedly pick one up from the back wheels or front and deposited it in the seat and then come to find out a sticky goo on your pants and seat

Sthrasher38 - 12-11-2007 at 09:27 AM

So sorry to see that. It is an awful mess down there.:no: Thanks again dlish for posting pics Of me. Now I am famous!

I had to bump this! Good ol memories of me and Dakitez Baby jumps and wearing out pants. And thanks to good ol snowbird, Remember him? For finding me a jumping kite. Take in mind these posts were 2 yrs ago.:borg:

Ha Ha,

2 years and I think we are pushing it to say we are riding much better than intermediate!

We have all come a long way :thumbup: Intermediate ain't bad but when you look at some of these kids 1/2 our age you see where this is all going :ninja:

I think A LOT of folks have taken our advice, run with it and become better riders than we are in this same 2 years !

I knew I would never be " the best " at any style. I just aim to know how to ride all styles safely. To help someone get going safely and take this sport to levels I can't imagine is how I try and pay back. :yes:

( the Snowbird lives within and it's season is about to arrive ! )

Sthrasher38 - 19-11-2008 at 05:59 PM

Oh man speak for yourself. I am still way a beginner.:sniff: I get less than half the ride time in that you do most likely. But ya know what? I still have a love for kites, Buggying and Jumping. Never say never. All you have to do to be your best is to particapate with the best! If you got love you will learn something. I'm still learning every time I fly. So in that case in another 2 yrs. I may be intermediate. I need to live near El kiter Buddy up with him and be freestylin in 2! C'mon DAKITEZ Were going to have to sell the house and move! It's the only way.:bouncing:

head this way gents.....an inflatable market here so Dakitez its good for you. When the economy picks up Im thinking about a dealership with PL. Im getting more and more interest each time at the beach. Have to say the auto zenith on a dog screw/cabrineir/chicken loop hooked in while out surfing gets em every time...................:o
