Today was a good windy day but I was in classes until 5:30.. got exciting to go out but I found out that wind speed is 5mph with gust up to 25 MPH.. so it is unsafe. Stupid classes.. it was blowing perfectly earlier today. :-(

very smart to stay in when it's gusting over 100%, I certainly would have a lot more kite days if I would go out into those conditions, but I've hurt myself enough! Glad to hear you're starting off smarter.

Heh, that's about the best wind I've flown in.
So far I've had no good wind, so when I see something like that I grab my board and my 6m NPW. I'm definitely feeling overpowered in that and I expect to be dragged a couple feet every time I fall, but at least it gets me moving and gives me a good workout. Can't wait until I have a day where the steady wind is enough to move me. Thinking the snow will help with that.

5 to 25 is a lot of a small kite on the ground waiting for that 15+ blow to get movin, can be tough days.

for me it's often 15 gusting 45+ which is a great way to get hurt, lol, I have proven it....

Posts like this only serve to remind some PKF users how lucky they are to live on a coast, a desert, or a sick mountain range!

I can't wait for snow, it's the only way I ever get to ride more than a minute in a direction without having to tack.
