I felt like Santa Clause missed my house the whole day. I'm jonesing for a phantom water day.

Santa def came to Sullis today as did Phree.....................winds were 12 to 15ish around noon but with big holes............winds kicked in solid to 20+ around 3pm.............Phree and I were rippin...........speed runs with big airs.....................:duh::duh:

about 3pm it poured in real nice, a lot of fliers, fun except the broken line and footpad pull out . Don let borrow his KBG . big thanks great board for the $

inside had a big flat spot in front of the sand bar and very crowded, but outside just like home big rollers and all. plenty of wind . great spot , station 28 sullivan's island

Phree was rippin inside and outside...............shame about the board but a sun cure fix should do the trick.................................thanks again for the linear tip.........winds 15 to 20 tomorrow so a quick post work session most likely in order.................................:o:o:duh::duh:

Hijack: Gregg, you survive the rains? Sounds pretty bad.

Angus heard this morning that both kitedog, and Kullas that live north of Atlanta, had some washing on their driveways, but no loss of life, limb, or property to speak of. My cousin, Airhunter faired well too. 12000 people in the greater Atlanta area are without power this morning.

Greg mentioned to me Sunday that the rain canceled his shoot which caused him to miss Sullis..............
hi is planning a retune trip arounf the 2nd/3rd October then continuing down to Jekyll................a sesh here and down at kite beach works for me.....................who knows:wow: I may come home with a buggy:wow::duh::duh:

My schedule is opening up the next weekend of the 10th. I'll post up and find out where some buds are getting in the water. Offshores or low winds just shift me to the buggy. I have 2 new kites to exercise in the buggy too.

10th sounds good Bob...Ive got a nice lil buggy motor for you to try as well.............................

u2us dont work...........................

Total U2U's in all folders needs to be less than 100 to reply to someone - delete excess ones.

Sometimes I have to keep trying because the #@!&^ delete or move to trash option don't actually work, even after it tells you it was successful!

That way, you can successfully reply to all of the waiting, wondering buyers out there.....

venom sold.................

Todd, Do you mean THIS 19m Venom.

The one I apparently lost out to kamaikuza for?

Then was mysteriously withdrawn and then promised to you for pickup weeks ago?

Then equally mysteriously shows up last week in a Foilzone Classified, offered by one "Tridude" in the USA?

THAT 19m Venom?

Ah...whaddaheck do I know?

I'm still waiting to hear back on that 15m Syn I was promised in both public and U2U exchanges.

Those sudden U2U outages are surrrre funny things...usin komputerz can be so hard...they make my head hurtz sometimez...

Whoops ... not so reliable after all, hmm?

Guys, I'm pretty close friends with tridude. I probably chat with him on the phone more than anyone else in kiting. I don't know about all the details of your communications with him but I'll add what I do know. Tridude took a new job back in the spring that seems to be more than full time. Just before this, he developed some issues with his computer that limited his participation here to the point where he didn't post for 2 months or more. Several times I called to check on his health and well being because I didn't hear from him for so long. I'm not sure he has that stuff resolved with his computer even today. Acampbell and mgatc have also had conversations with me about being concerned for tridude since none of us could get in touch with him at times. In addition, he has a technical problem with his U2Us here in that his box is full but he can't delete any of them while on his home or work computers so he is stuck it would seem. Without any of us knowing the whole story of all this, realize that he has been much more difficult for even his closest friends in kiting to get in touch with at times certainly by U2U, also by email and at times even by home or cell phones. This might not reduce your ire you have towards him right now for issues you have with failed transactions, but I'm sure it isn't personal or at all common during the almost 3 years I've been friends with him.

From previous postings, I recognize Tridude as a knowledgable, experienced and valuable contributor here. In fact, his insights have been instrumental in my quiver decisions and I respect him for it. He is a smart and trusted resource and I always look forward to his postings.

But at least THREE (that I know about) well-posted PKFers here have been completely baffled by his sudden drop off of all communications during a 99% already-concluded kite deal.

It's not unreasonable to expect at least some kind of follow up explanation for this, either in the forums, phone calls, emails or restored U2Us.

Better offers, local sales, second thoughts - all legit reasons to drop a deal in my book. Not very courteous, but legit. Heck, I wouldn't care if he suddenly decided he didn't like me for some reason. At least that's a reason - and I'm a reasonable guy!

.

Hey Todd!

I don't know the details of your transaction but I do know that Tridude told me at one point that you were going to pick that kite up. It doesn't sound like that happened. He's a stand-up guy so I'm sure its just a misunderstanding.

At any rate, this business ought to find another thread or go private.

Greg

my my.........let me say this.......I had a couple of concerns with both kites and after much thought I decided not to sell them to anyone I dont know..............nothing personal at all............as for the lack of comm again Im having comp issues..................

That just doesn't make any sense ... you offered the kites for sale to all, then you realized there was a problem with them so you sold them to your friends???

I'm done. Mods may clean up this thread and restore it to it's original form. Sorry to put you through all of the work.

low tides coming the 3rd and 4th.........BBob coming to town on the 10th..........................let me hear from you!!!

Looks like it was howling today. Were you there Don? My bro comes to town on Wednesday evening. I think we could be there on the 3rd and 4th. Does the wind look promising? I'm worried because it looks like its shutting off along the south eastern seaboard. Let me know what you think.

Greg
