How Many Days on the water?


I know that I am no Phreerider but I feel like I have been getting out a lot (If it pans out... tomorrow will be day 40) and was wondering how much other people get out on the water. So How many days on the water so far in 2012?

20+ but that reminds me to log my sessions. The closest water to me is 40mi and I live next to work so I commute to fun. If I was closer to the coast my #s would be higher. My wife is awesome for encouraging me to go when the wind is blowing!

No. I think this is to figure out how often people kite on the liquid water.

Oh lucky if I have had 30 and at least 10 of them have been crap 10-12 knot days and as being a noob, well got a new kite (Speed 3 12m) my first foil so noob in that sense finding it hard to get up and ride in them winds (I weight 76kg).

Good news is the winter is nearly over and the warm winds will return soon so hope then I can get a good ride on my new kite.

I think a good follow up to this poll since we are in the mood for polls (not to be confused with poles) is a poll for how far you have to travel to your "go to" spot (miles/kms)...
