Sound off....Where do you kite?


I've heard many say that there are more Land traction guys here on PKF than water surfing guys. The question is....What kind of location do you spend MOST of your time kiting?

Let's see.



16m Slingshot Fuel
16m Naish X4
15m PL Synergy
11.5m Best Kahoona V2
3m Beamer III

MOST of my time? North Beach at Corpus Christi. I've kited *way* more on water this year. I have been making the 3hr drive to CC pretty much every weekend for the past 3 or 4 months. The winds have been literally non-stop there the past few months :frog:
A buddy moved out there back in March and said he's only NOT kited 7 days since the move.

Locally, either a lake or the park. It's been too hot to kite here in Austin, and the winds (up until yesterday/today) have been absolutely pathetic. I haven't had an after-work session in a long time, but I might be able to score one today ;D



Kites:
2012 TS 7,9,12/2007 Waroo 3,5/2009 Kahoona 9.5

Ozone Zephyr 17m
Rides:
