Rain flights

Sthrasher38 - 24-2-2008 at 09:21 AM

Who does this besides me? I have to get while the gettings good and a lot of the time it is in the rain. But foils dont do well wet so, Got any tips or sugestions for flying in the rain? Man what a mess having to dry everything and so on. Is it best just left alone? :mad: Frustrated when I cant fly for numbers of days on end and then it rains. Got some ideas? Do I need a water kite? Are Lei's The ones most used for water? Anything will help thanks.:sniff:

It rains heavy all winter around here. Tides are high in the day and it's dark early. Even if the rain stops most of our flying spots are poorly drained and a mess.
The only folks who enjoy the winter are the folks on the water. The Bows and Hybrids rule in the winter storms we get up north .
