Guess I'm not the only one

So all along I assumed that I was one of the only kiters in town. Guess I was wrong, right on the front page of yesterday's paper is a pic of a fella doing a nice floaty jump with an SA 1 or 2. Now I'm on a mission to find who this guy is. Would it be wrong to get ahold of the paper and ask if they have contact info????? It said that he's been in the game for 11 years. If he's been kiting here the whole time, maybe he knows some good spots.:wee:

what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

I like that idea actually. That way it can be up to him if he wants another kiting friend. Thanks

Glad to here that. I'm loving the speed 2. Now that I've used it fully powered, I wanna get more comfortable in those winds so I can let it shoot me to the moon:wee:

Mood: Tired of friends thinking kites are stupid! Until I tell them I have a 20m. That changes things. ;-)

I would contact them! I'm positive that I'm the only one in my town with a population of 3,000 that im the only one because the majority of them are 50+ years old. So I would jump on the chance to meet someone else! I'd go for it.

Have:

Cabrinha 11.5m CO2
Cabrinha 19.5m Contra
Ozone Imp Trainer 3.5m
HQ Scout II 5m
