6/8/13 ssw right now... very cloudy but no rain yet. noaa says 80% rain afternoon, but who knows. kitesurf jsut updated their afternoon wind to W 20-25 :thumbup: If that works out with no rain that'd rock. Maybe I'd get to take the charger out on the water :)

SSW 6/10/13, sky is looking darker but no rain yet! Low tide is upon us. Radar is looking better, for what that's worth. I might try to launch the charger again if I can shake free ;) 50% chance the forecast of 70% chance of rain is 25% wrong.

I went out... 8/15/18 then 13/17/21 but as soon as I got setup it started raining. I found out the hard way that is seems the charger doesn't really like rain, esp with lighter wind. I'm guessing the rain pushes the air out of the kite, and since there's no central bridal it turns into a very acute c-kite ;) Pulling the center line way in helps a bit, but really once it gets moving it seems to be ok. Just don't stop and don't transition slowly.

vwb you didn't miss anything, except wet frustration. My guess is that Sat was the last good weather til nabx :(
