HOT KITERS!!
Well everyone it's getting to be that time of year around here. Over a 100 degrees all week! Sun block for some water for all!! Thats what I remember
not to forget in the heat. People feel free to add your opinion! I remember some pretty hot riding stories last year so be cool when buggying in the
heat! Ride on fly safe.  |

Yep, supposed to be 96F today but should push a 100F in Woodland Hills.
I usually try to fly my local college at lunch time but damn when it's that hot the winds gotta be good or I'm staying inside my cub.
Kinda feel sorry for my coworkers when I come back all sweaty and stinky (well, I hope not)...putting the deodorant to the test!
Can't wait for the beach this weekend, however!

Sequoia commercial - 120 F on the entrance to Dead Valley. That was way too HOT:frog: . Crazy 3 hours of riding. Camelpack loaded with ice was my best
friend.

Mood: Feeling like surfin\' the dirt baby! Who\'s coming with me!?

Gotta be 110 percent committed! I sailed in those conditions daily last summer. Like Zloty said, Camelback full of water is an absolute must. I also
carry a 5 gallon jug of water/ice to spray myself down with right before I sail.
I call it the 5-0-40 Air conditioning unit. 5 gallons of water, 0 windows, and 40 mph baby.

too funny.
Yes Thrasher my quiver has expanded recently. No dice on the harness, i think I will wait for a dakine storm size M. My next kite will be a 6-8m
race kite for the low wind days, I was looking at that 6.6 blade for sale. I dunno yet, I will just wait for a good deal to show up.
