forgot about the shipwreck runs, that was always the very first run i did. got a flag here some where.

tangent time, the reality of a few passing "non-predatory" kite in our whisper of existence to derailing 100,000's of years of avian evolution ??? really? if that where the case the pelicans and gulls DID NOT GET THE NOTICE!...nature is a little more robust than that...extinction IS the more predictable constant on the planet ....what about the 98% that are already gone?

skip the "pet" , "food" and back to regular program

... Demo whats the handle warmer story

this was 2011 , pretty much ground zero , CWS yellow sock telling the story

heres Phillip( PCB) scorpion tow master

CSADeadOn brought handle warmers last year for the south eastern coastal kiters. Just an inside joke from the guys up north that actually get to kite the white stuff. I still have mine from last year.

gotcha, heat we got, the hi today 77

Logs on the beach last year!!

Nice pics! You guys been holding them all year to get the hype going. Remember this year it's driftwood beach runs! Don't get wet or chicken out early

I made it to driftwood last year, but I think I was the only one that went that far north.

I just realized my skin is winter pale. Gonna be a horrific sunburn coming in a few weeks...

Just grease up before you get on the beach and you will be good.

i took this shot during JIBE 2009 , heres what the elements delivered May 8 2009

moonshine!

3 days in row on the water, clear indication things are UP! ocean is indeed emerald green and by today's afternoon blast there will be breeze at JIBE , possibly an epic caliber situation.

Hope to see y'all next month, ruff winter but recovering nicely...................

come on down man easy breezy

I'll bring down of the new O.R. Duke boards that are just released to try out down there as well. It'll be nice to see you back there Don, Fiona will be back with me this year and i think she wants to do some morning SUPing

(Duke video)

nice board deluxe toughness!

great pics phree

thanks 3shot!

skates over buggy V16 unit of choice

I still want to try out those Coyotes! I didn't give my Skikes a fair shake last year, but I still have them, so maybe I will give them another shot. I am also pretty sure I want to bring my inlines to try a generous, sharing person's NPW on a streetkite bar in the parking lot.

I am just TOOOOOO excited about this week. Unfortunately, Itay couldn't swing coming this year, but my girlfriend is driving down with me. It will be a blast. Her parents are also renting a house on the island for the whole week as well, so she will have family in and out all week including her brothers, whom I plan to thoroughly hook on kiting. Her younger brother is actually already very interested in kite surfing. He and her older brother have both flown my 5m Tensor before with great success.

Now, I just need to buy an extra set of wheels for my PL XR+ and rig a tandem to give taxi rides...

Gonna miss Itay and that beautiful lime green Access.

I don't think I'm going to get a chance to have a session before JIBE... I'm uber excited!!!

Me neither bro. I will be knocking the dust off my buggy.

I may try to squeeze something in just to try to get a feel for the NS3's in the seat, but not sure if I can. I promised no more lunch break buggy sessions.
