looks like its on at Sullis tomorrow around noon.........Kitedog is headed this way if anyone else can make it...........................forecasts are calling for SSW 10 to 15, low tide around noon...............Phree, MGATC, AC, BB, Pokite come on down.............................................:duh::duh:

Baseball tourney starting at 1. I'm out for this one. The boys won their two games today though. 15-0, and 11-4. This is a new team too.

congrats to the team..................wish you could make it...........blowing 12 to 14 from the south at the mo which was forecasted so all is looking good.................:duh::duh:

I'm looking for someone to share the ride. Anyone? I can go 85 or 20. It's about the same difference. I'll go by myself but I'd rather have company. See you tomorrow Tridude!

I'm weak on water kites right now. The synergy is boxed up and ready to go half way round the world. Chargers are out in a few weeks though. I'm ready for my third session and some upwind (or at least not downwind) action.

the big boyz came out the bag and owned Sullivans today..........Kitedogs 19m Psycho4 in SA 2.5 matetial is really sweet and the 19m SA 2 Red Arrow was on fire........................cranking upwind in 10 to 12 kts on my KGB Comrade 139x40.....................................:duh::duh:

forecast for next weekend looks sweet at this point od windguru...................tides are low in the late afternoon next weekend which is ideal for sea breezes.........Nate will be home for the long weekenc so come on down ya'll......................................:duh::duh:

Don't forget that 25 mtr tube with the 180+ board that still couldn't keep up! All the 10-14 mtr tubes sitting in the water were soooo sad!

you guys are doing it! keep rockin' the foil world

I wasnt going to mention that but..........................

again windguru has the whole weekend on fire so come on down..........................:o:o

I'm definitely trying to work that out. I'll be ready for another dose by next weekend.

weekends getting closer.....................................

I think we'll try to come down Saturday evening and stay all day Sunday.

Hey Tridude! I was watching some low wind SA runs on youtube and I noticed they do a downturn for water starting but they turn it down in the opposite direction I would have expected. For instance, going left to right you'd bring the kite over the top and turn it down to the left and lock it in as soon as its going to the right again. Does that make sense?

sounds good......my sons 12m Pulse 2 is due in today so that'll put two in the mix and the Pulse 1......add a 17m SA 1.5 to go along with the two 19s........woooohoooo lotza fun on tap!!

Looks like ENE for Sunday. How's that at Sullivan's?

very good side on....................................

with this direction downwind a few racks and your in the wider section inside the sandbar....you need to go outside and play in the breakers this weekend! Sons 12m Pulse 2 camr in today and its sweet...................hes on his way from Ole Miss as we type.................:duh::duh:

Cool...luv that kite. Wind might be pumping...I'm hoping. Wouldn't mind stretching out my 8.

I'm trying to find that video of those guys taking off in uber low wind with the downturn. That looks like the ticket. We'll have to wait for another low wind session to try it out.

Psyched about this weekend!

Sunday is forecasted at 17 to 20kts by mid afternoon! 3 Pulses will be rockin!.........................:duh::duh:

Yeah man! I'm hoping my wife and kid will come this time. Last trip of the summer to the beach. Too much fun!

10 to 13 was max today but the 19 and 17 were on fire. Local kite instructor was giving a lesson (2 liner down the beach), stopped by afterwards and commented "must be lonely out there"..................:duh::duh:

Sweet!

I'm hoping to bring out the Pulses with some more wind but just in case I extended the z-bridle on the 19 mtr's FDS line to take care of that bit of a pucker. Thanks to John @ Powerzone I put one of those little pigtails on the z-bridle in case I need to lengthen it again. Thanks again John!

Sunday should be smokin'!

forecast looks sweet for the weekend, 10 to 15 kts today, 15 to 20 kts tomorrow....................
tide cycle is spot on for glassy shallows inside the sandbar or take it outside in the breakers......................

winds topped out at 23 to 26 kts around 5pm................Nate was fully depowered on the 10m Pulse and was boosting huge easy 25 footers and very floaty! Kitedoag was lit on his 8m P2 and I was rocking on the 13m V2.......................:duh::duh:

both Pulses were awesome in very punchy winds,,,,,,,,the 10m was boosting as high as any tube out there..........I popped a couple biggies on the V2....................:duh::duh:

What an intense day! Wind was pumping...definitely the strongest all summer and the most wind I've been on the water in.

What a comedy of errors on the way to the beach though. First, I decided to play the gas game and lost. 2 miles to my exit and I came to a rolling stop on the side of the highway. 35 minutes later I was thanking Onstar for a quick pitstop.

Then, after I got to the beach, had my kite lines stretched, tip folded and sanded and my harness on, I decided it would be a good idea to give myself a dose of spray on suntan lotion. I proceeded to spray myself right in the face and the lotion (waterproof SPF 50) got in my eyes and REALLY messed up my contacts. I am still suffering and the 5 1/2 hour drive home SUCKED!

I swear, I learn something new every time I go kiting. Even if it isn't really about kiting.

Anyway, what an insane day. Nate was popping some huge air on the Pulse 1 10 mtr and Don was shredding upwind with the PL V2 13 mtr. My Pulse 2 8 was fully powered. It was epic!

Greg
