I was just thinking today about what I typically take with me when I go out kiting for a day and I decided it might be kind of a fun topic to start.
so here's the question:
what is your favorite snack when you're out kiting? were talking homemade stuff here.
My personal favorite would have to be something one of my surfing buddies showed me which includes:
sliced apples
peanut butter
oatmeal
it ends up looking like dog crap but it really hits the spot after coming in from the water

RED BULL!!!
at our local field, we have a Fish N Chips joint and a Coffee / Ice Cream shop as well.

sports drink, something crunchy like a granola bar or chips. GUM when you have sand in your mouth it collects in the gum and you can toss the gum and
sand! It is all from the buggy!

Lots of ice water & some chips.

good old raisins and peanuts, dressed up with almonds, cashews, dried mango, dried cranberries, dried pineapple, a bit of homemade granola, M&Ms
/ smarties, and anything else left over from my day job.... Lots of water, super strong black coffee in a small thermos, some fruit / carrots, peanut
butter / hummus to go with it, stuff like that. No big meals, a little bit every half-hour or so when I take a break long enough to relax but not
long enough to let my muscles go cold or stiff.
That's when I'm sorted out well.
When I'm lazy, it's fast food mcdonald's style, but then I can't go as hard or as long.

Always loads and loads of water. We usually hit the coffee shop on the way out to the lake (snowkiting) and get our bellies filled on the drive out.
20 minutes from "thank you, have a nice day" to unloading the gear. Biggest challenge we have is keeping the tops from freezing on the water bottles.
nwsurf - I'm intrigued by this concoction of yours.....care to elaborate (or was that already elaborated?).
nwsurfwakeskate - 29-7-2008 at 11:43 PM
well I think basically you can vary the ingredients as much as you want but from what i saw you would basically take:
Apples chopped up small (like in fruit salad)
Lots of Peanut Butter (I prefer Adams No Stir Crunchy)
and Granola or Oatmeal
mix it all together and put it in a tupperwear container with a lid. the apple slices will probably turn brown because apples do that but they will
still taste amazing.
we basically ate it with our hands but you could use a spoon or whatever else sounds good to eat it with.
another snack my girlfriend just showed me is Lucerne Vanilla Yogurt with granola and either grapes or fresh raspberrys mixed in. by far the best
tasting healthy breakfast I've ever had! if you have a cooler then its something you could definitely take with you :bird:

Trips to my local park - eat before I go and bring plenty of water.
Trips to the beach - eat before I go and then Taco Bell afterwards (Nachos Supreme and a Burrito Supreme, Cinnanom trists and a large Pepsi)
Trips to El Mirage - Sandwiches, water, gatorade, candy and beer.
WELDNGOD - 30-7-2008 at 08:43 AM

USA_Eli_A - 30-7-2008 at 09:08 AM
peanut butter pickle and cheeeze sandy wiches....and pie!
gotta pretty long drive after kiting, about 8 miles, but it's throught what us locals call the county mounty guantlet, like kooks of hazard style,
BUT....the possee usually comes over for our protien/beer shakes...
f0rgiv3n - 30-7-2008 at 09:23 AM
protein-beer shakes?! Sounds... huh. I don't know how i feel about that i think i'm a bit indifferent :P
USA_Eli_A - 30-7-2008 at 04:01 PM
SCREW DRIVER PROTIEN SHAKES ARE EVEN BETTER!
BEER ON AVERAGE IS 2-5G OF PROTIEN...THATS WHAT I MEANT
WELDNGOD - 30-7-2008 at 05:13 PM

If its a local place - Just gatorade (Longs has a special on the quarts .89 apiece). Long day trip just chips and granola bars - there's no real good
terlet available so gotta keep my stomach light - I can pee almost anywhere - just can't let go a #2 anywhere. And yes a beer every now and then.
