Luck
Hey guys!
Just a fun topic. I couldn't find a previous thread about it..
Anybody do anything for good luck for a session of good winds?
I dunno.. Maybe some routine or tradition or any lucky charms, lucky underwear, prayers, a wind dance, idk lol.
And since I've never even met another kitesurfer before, do any kiters use the bone fish hook necklaces? Or is that just a surfer thing? (maori hei
matau)
Cheers

This or:
Schedule a day full of appointments that can not be rescheduled.
Have a soccer match at your local field.
Tell your wife that you will spend ALL day with her. (this doesnt work for mr, she flies too)
These are just a few...

When all else fails, giving the appearance of preparing a sacrifice works every time...
Assemble the fragile heirloom Cody, set up something hand painted. Just remember to have an exit strategy for when the wind comes, and it will.
