We will probably make some vids when we can stay on the board for more than a few seconds...I don't necessarily think its an issue with balance or anything,,,probably just the wind and its stupid gusts.

Very nice. I take it that session with me helped?

Very cool. Glad you guys got out. Hope to see some folks Sunday. Though I'm not sure where I am going yet (if winds hold).

Yes the session was very helpful, and the pointers were great. But you can talk all day long but it really comes down to just trying and trying until you get it. Then the pointers come in handy.

Yeah.

Frat,I got to hang out with Jim Cosca in the spring at cape kite fest. What a great guy. I am glad to hear that he got his foils going.I have seen his stunt kites and am anxious to see the foils I will have to give him a call and see if I can get him to send me one to demo. Have a nice trip in Boston

Just wondering who got out this weekend, it seemed like the winds were good in DC, possibly some snowkiting:dunno:

Hey SHMH,

Yeah Jim is a great guy to know and if you get your hands on one of the Sky Dog Traction kites I think you'll really like it.

Power and I went snowkiting this weekend. Well, more specifically we flew our kites in the snow...it was fun though. The wind was really consistent on saturday, which made for some nice long scuds and great winds to test my strop out in (thanks tridude).

Consistency in the winds makes a huge difference. The winds were just barely enough to keep my depower in the air but flying was so much fun because the kite's behavior was predictable. Also, a for scudding in the snow- so fun.

Anyone available wednesday afternoon? It looks like the rain is supposed to stop before the afternoon and its supposed to be windy.

REALLY depends on the wife. I am taking that day off for her Birthday... MIGHT be able to kite in the afternoon.. but its her call. I'll let you know..

I'd be available. I assume you're planning on hitting the field?

TV Hill field...bowl...?

The field.

I'll be there with him (most likely).

I'm thinking Thursday looks better than Wednesday.

Havent even mentioned this to the wife yet... I'll talk to her tonight... if I recall.

Can't make it thursday.

Wow sounds like you guys got some good spots, Im probally a few hours away but could someone u2u or even email me the locations? I would love to try to make it there sometime and get to meet some of you guys.

Was out today with power and Knolee at the field. The winds were quite erratic, but we enjoyed ourselves.

Gosh LEI's are a handful. At least with the inland gusties...

Anyone for this weekend? I have the Libre Radical with me for some of you wanting to give this one a go. It's going to be a cold one!

Might get out this weekend. Wife has been sucking up my time demanding that I "game" with her. We did hit Tugg Hill last weekend so I cant complain too much. If conditions are favorable, I will be heading out this weekend. I'd be curious to try to Radical. Where are you thinking about going Todd?

Pigryder, if you come down to DC and need a place to crash, let me know...

I don't know really. Kind of wanting to see this field but not really caring where I go as long as I can get something in the air. It's been way too long without a session and can't wait to try some more GoPro HD!

Seems like it's always too rainy or muddy anymore in this region.
If conditions are right, I'll come out too (and bulk-pack the hand-warmers).

I'll try to make it, have not been out since Thanksgiving and sailing ended last weekend with that lovely rain we had Sunday so I'm finally free on Sundays too.

Are you guys talking about making it out to the radio tower field?

Hey I am definitely in for some kiting this weekend. Its been too long and the mud doesn't bother me Just let me know when and where. If the wind doesn't work out anyone interested in going snowboarding up at Roundtop in Lewisberry, PA?
