For those of you who are in the ct ri area... Great spot for kite skating at Ninigrate park (off route 1), near westerly RI....
Also would like some pointers on going upwind.doomwheels - 10-5-2003 at 07:32 PM

As you start moving forward, fly the kite out to the edge of the wind window and concentrate on skating a line slightly upwind from the kite's
position (10-20 degrees) thus increasing the power of the kite and your forward speed. If you start slowing and becoming overpowered, steer the skates
slightly downwind toward the kite. If you become under powered and the kite begins to sink, steer the skates slightly upwind away from the kite. Focus
on how much is enough and how much is too much.
