actually last summer I got alot of east wind. seems to come in the late afternoon though. West is ok but you gotta keep you kite up ,if you get too low the turbs from the sand dunes will luff ya'. Then you fall in the chessie bay:flaming: I hate washin my kites Get up with me, I got a bag full of kites to fly! We usually fish for Cobia and fly kites all summer out there.I have not been officially told not to fly, but it's in the worx. They gotta make a law that says I can't, right now there isn't one.Maybe the people who bicycle out there will help fight it. Anyway let me know if ya want to meet out there,but lets keep it on the DL. know what I mean?

II’ll be going to Nags Head for a kite fest on June 14 - 15. I’m hoping to talk some others in to joining me. See thread http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=6099&pa... for all the info. Other then that say when and ware and I can probably make it, :cool2: the perks of being my own boss.:P

I'm not sure when I'll be able to get up to the peninsula...maybe weekend after next or the following weekend. I'm definitely down for the kite festival though.

Another point of interest...this is a link to kiteboard/sailboard launches. It could prove to be useful for places to fly kites.

Welcome to the forum... I too bought a 3m ish kite to get started on the kitesurfing path. I got a bit sidetracked, as I have had so much fun with these kites that I cant seem to stop playing with them, and adding to my quiver.

Now that I have it all together, I cant break away from work to go kiting. It'll have to wait a few weeks more.

Welcome again, and be safe out there!
