So my new buggy and harness show up today courtesy of TracktRob (thank you sir) and the #$%$ wind for tomorrow sucks! What the hell!!!! It has been blowing like a low class hurricane all week while I am at work and now......tomorrow....nothing.

Frickin' 4 mph wind and I have a 4m kite! This happened when I got both of my kites too...the first couples days I had them they would just fold up in the air and fall.

Is this some kind of curse for something bad I did in a former life?

Sorry guys....I had to vent.

brother, its been blowin like a damn hurricane here in houston for like 4 days now. lifes been good

It was all I could do to hold onto a 2m Beamer today in Dallas. 35 mph. I havne't looked for tomorrow as I'm not able to fly tomorrow.

New gear = no wind = always.

Crazy winds all day today in my neck of the woods!!! Rain went away kinda early up here. Heading out tomorrow for my maiden voyage on my Beamer. May even hit the islands Sunday.

Txshooter38....same thing happened to me. I feel for ya. I was sittin' at work droolin' and foamin' at the mouth at all the wind when I first got my kite and then BAM.....nothing.:singing:

You can have some of our wind.... you might have to dodge penguins that have been blown off course though....

Yup... same thing here. Just bought a 19m Synergy...
No wind, melting snow (soggy ground) and rain every day.
I need 3-4 days in the mid 50s and 60s with sunlight to dry the fields out.

Hey Shooter

Where in south Texas are you located?

Susan (npw goddess)

Hey Indigo it must be ripping to blow penquins that far!! We have had heavy rain for a couple days and before that for the last few weeks barely enouph wind to fly the little kids kites.

All the wee furry ones are casting looks of recrimination at me for not ordering an ark for my birthday. The winds kept them up last night, and they kept everyone else up.

Lots of horizontal rain in the past 24-48 hours... some standing water in the yard. Expect if it had been cold enough for snow, things would have been considerably more interesting and the EMT/fire station sirens would have been blaring 24/7.

Weather station said gusts to 50-60 last night and that sounds about right.

ATB,
Sam

Sounds like someone else has found the new kite curse. If you buy high wind kite then no wind for the next month, and if you buy a low wind kite then mental winds for the next month.

KiteMaker....I am in Kerrville...just west of San Antonio by an hour.
