First Hawaii at 13,400' , now flying in Cozumel/Cancun at Sea-level


Taking my new Beamer 3m down to Meh-ee-co for Christmas week, should be rough.


Will post pictures...............any tips on how do you drink 2 Margaritas and fly twin handles at the same time?

All inclusive white sand beach front resort. Pour your own unlimited Corona/booze, 5 restaurant's, 4 pools, swim up bar, I hope there's room for the kites on the beach to put on a show for everyone......


Feel My pain with lows at 77 during the night and 82-83F during the day with a constant off shore breeze.......

Well depending on the size of the water bottles you could turn into a bobble head on bumpy terrain.

Buggying, filming and hydrating.... you might want to look at a Heads Up Chest Hydration Pack .

"Designed for situations like helicopter and heavy equipment operations where back mounted packs or water bottles aren’t practical."

can't
believe
it.


dead calm air on the island. Normally a good afternoon wind comes up on the east side of the island. Did get the Beamer up for a few slow lazy turns to show the surfers how we kite guys get our rush.


While using an outhouse Ban~o to relieve some pressure from many Cervezas and Margaritas consumed at the end of a deserted beach next to my favorite Cozumel Watering hole Mezcalitos

there IS a kite boarding passion in Cozumel as I was directed by the sticker on the top of the toilet.............that had no running water, you just sorta pee in a hole in the tile.

the last time I was down in Playa, did a little scuba diving and afterwards spend some time in the little tiki hut much like what you were just showing on the video, a little square Hut where the bartender stood in the middle and served drinks and everybody said around the outside edge, out in the bay was a couple little boats that surprisingly floated, and a little bit of a breeze blowing on shore.
sure do miss that warm weather, warm water, cheap drinks, and the quiet life style, and the all-day siesta. Hahahahahahahahaha
hope you are enjoying yourselfs.
