MOST of my time? North Beach at Corpus Christi. I've kited *way* more on water this year. I have been making the 3hr drive to CC pretty much every
weekend for the past 3 or 4 months. The winds have been literally non-stop there the past few months :frog:
A buddy moved out there back in March and said he's only NOT kited 7 days since the move.
Locally, either a lake or the park. It's been too hot to kite here in Austin, and the winds (up until yesterday/today) have been absolutely pathetic.
I haven't had an after-work session in a long time, but I might be able to score one today ;D
Kites:
2012 TS 7,9,12/2007 Waroo 3,5/2009 Kahoona 9.5
Flexifoil Ion 2 8.5

Ozone Zephyr 17m
