:bigok: Thanks for staying tuned i think this will be up your ally
as kiters we are cursed from the verry moment we feel the pull of a traction kite or get yanked into the lower atmospher by a kite that someone
shouldn't have handed us
we feel compelled to share with others and to check the wind conditions every five minuets hoping for the change we know isn't there Or mabey like me
you think about what is to come and how the sport will grow , what it is to become so here is what i daydream about and play the lottery for in the
hopes that mabey someday i will see it happen
Background
I live in west texas where if the wind isn't blowing there must be something wrong and where i am not located anywhere near a body of water suitable
for kite surfing
every day i drive the roads in and around midland and odessa tx watching so much prime kiting realestate pass my window.
when a sport is growing location is everything i have the perfect opertunity but no funds to create Kite West Texas a mythical place that is four
sections square passed on the north and the south by an interstate and the midcity highway a location that would captivate onlookers and draw interest
(when ever i kite at the local school with my 4.5m little devil 1 out of 2 cars stop to watch and when i put up my Havoc 14m 2 out of 3 stop to watch
I am sure if i had a buggie or a board people would come talk to me)
I would split the land north to south because our prevailing winds are from the west: southwest on the west side would be the land kiters side with
lighting on the west fence so there could be knight ridding. It would have soccer feild style grass that was watered via sprinklers from the wells on
the property and kept mowed, also it would have jumps kickers and rails to spice things up and provide an outlet for progression
down the middle would be 100 camp sites w/ facilitys, living quarters for certified instructors, wind generators to provide the necessary electricity
and provide income, and
the local ( only ) kite shop.
On the east side would be the boat house for the electric wakboard boats (for training and those non windy days ) a swimming area and learners flats
(about 3.5ft deep) beyond that would be the deeper water (about twenty feet deep) for doing big airs and wake boarding.
also so the park is more accesible to all the reservoir their would be small sailing boats and or catermerans if kiting wasn't your cup of tea.
the water reservoir would have a thick clay or concreet bottom to minimize absorbtion. it would be stocked with fish to keep it cleen and circulation
pumps to help keep it cleen
so is any boddy still listning if you are let me know what you think
and just to clarify the west and east halfs would be 1.5 miles wide by 4 miles long sacrificing 1 mile to the facility's and camping grounds
:Ange09:
some day maybe i estimate total cost from nothing to finished between 5 and 10 million ?
