around 20 sessions in 7day peroid was probably my best
water and land around the clock. most sessions 3-4hours with a few full tide swings about 6 hours
should be a thread covering most of it
actually just got back from a moon session around 3 hours beautiful 1/2 moon
we get a few week long blows that can stack up if you have the time.
monthly.... couple hundred here and there would not surprise me
way to go
time, the only cure for the progression disease

glad to have this forum so all may benefit, because i have learned alot here too.
glad to help KITEJUMPER
kiting is a fitness avenue as well as an outlet for expression for me
during sessions i usually use the time to meditate and listen to music
esp. at night i find the solitude is deeply relaxing.
the contact i have had on this forum is good for me as well ...all very positive

I'm extremely jealous of you gents. I'm lucky to get in 20 hours a month. Usually more like 10.

Cheers I'm a weekend warrior once or twice a week with maybe 2-3 hours in each session.
That's just some awesome stuff!! I would love to do a moonlit session on the beach, that'd be amazing.

I've found that my local conditions are generally useless for traction kiting. :-(
So, I will travel hours to a beach praying for decent weather, winds, tides and small crowds.
During the few times it all comes together, I forgo resting, eating, drinking, sleeping or being a bearable person for my non-kiter buds to try and
keep up with.
I kite alone... a lot!

after the the summer time thunderstorms and the heat pass here, i have had some total chilled rain sessions on the water
music on, no one on the beach, tidal pool heaven, dead onshore breeze around 15-20mph
rained the whole time, launch to landing about 2hours. you could run really close over the beach ...actually remember working on toeside stuff last
fall.
