well where are they?

ARE YOU JUST GOING TO TALK OR KITE!?

what

Edit:

Oh ok.

Kitelandboarded last Saturday at a park, kiteboarded on water last Sunday, kiteboarding on water tomorrow, and no wind forecasted this Sunday so perhaps I'll Ebay some C-kites or something...

I've managed to kite one or both days of the weekend almost every weekend since the New Year :frog: I hope this trend continues! (knocks on wood)

My buddy and I flew Monday, even though the wind was poop. Need bigger kites. Also putting the finishing touches on the home built buggy. That and still recovering from broken ribs from the last time I flew:embarrased:

It's been a crappy season down the coast - I've gotten a total of 3 days in the bug over the past 2 months and not for a lack of trying - I hope the spring picks up - there's always NABX. - plus I'm nursing a torn achiles tendon from a month ago.

i've been find an hour here and there before work to tune my kites for nabx. does that count?

see you at nabx, bro / top 10!!!

I'm still working through my monster project here - and of course today, with good winds and no chance of getting away from this desk.....worse yet, no chance of getting out of this CHAIR!!!!!


mmmmm.......coffee...........

I have not flown in a good month or so! Crappy weather every day off have prevented me from flying. 20 degree weather and 30mph very gusty winds are not fun or safe to do ANYTHING in LOL!!

I am officially a lurker on this site!:ticking:

Spring better come soon!

I buggied 4 days in a row this past long weekend, did a static fly of the Montana, and buggied for an hour and a half yesterday. Just a little bit more and it'll be enough won't it?

i am daily my friend (and nightly)

Weekly at best lately... they bulldozed my spot, and my new spot is 45 minutes away.

If I'm on here, its because I'm already stuck in front of the computer for other reasons or because the browser is open on one of 3 computers. If I'm not kiting, I'm thinking about when I can, who I might get to fly with, any other stuff I need to do it, and anything I might need to do to the stuff I have to make it better.

this was my afternoon 2-5 on v13

and may do the same today

and sunday looks even better

2 days in a row at Whistler's Green lake last weekend was a 1st for me ! Off tomorrow for another go before it breaks up.:wee:

Eli,
Don't forget that some of us have J.O.B.S. :P

I'm working hard at mine right NOW !

maybe this rubbed me the wrong way but it seems as though you are questioning manho... i mean kitehood...?

NO wind No kiting. I have to go with Flexi and beachrights. Conditions are not good for nor cal right now.Bladerunner, Is that the old pulse your still in love with?

keyboard kiting for me...:frog: :moon:

back to HS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s beaches next week, tho...:wee:

I'm totally skint these days, so I'll be hopefully building gilligan's bamboo buggy and a plydoor while there the next few months...

YUP !

Just a little over a year now ! I would scoop up a 10m Pulse or Pulse 2 to go with it if Canadian money wasn't so bad right now.

I can see the reason for so many moving to arcs but fortunately for me , when we get wind it is usually nice and clean.

You will have to take a good look at it now. I doubt you will see it while eating my dust at NABX this year :roll:

Hopefully the wind hits around 30-40 And I can smoke you with a little Beamer.:P And wait a minute. Dust? Senior citizens Can't go fast enough to make dust can they?Just messin /w ya. I just had a b-day also 42 Strong. Don't worry I have respect for my elders i'll take it easy on ya this year. If we can get on the lake together more than twice.

WE ARE ON!

Young Stuff :tumble:

I have a 3m Blaze now. If you still have yours we could make this an even match ! As in, WHO can blow up the Blaze fastest :wee:


I would race you in a buggy but I doubt anybody else would have a Rocky Horrorville for me to risk it in !

Sweet! Yea I have one. If worst comes to worst And you wanna ride in the rockville horror we can always get susans dog basket and you can ride in back. All b/s aside. It's good to hear from you bro.Look forward to seeing you again this year. "Oh" wait a min. The ol famous Bladerunner is speaking of the Blaze 3m. I didn't see it in your sig. Sorry you had to stoop to my level to make me feel I had a chance.

I haven't even flown the Blaze. I traded it with Macboy. Mostly because I felt he could get better use out of my 3m Brooza than I was getting.

Besides I have never had the pleasure of blowing a kite up like you, so I thought I'd get the same model :wink2:

C'ya on the Playa !

ive flown nearly every day for the last month.......about 25 or 30 for a high temp--so what....as long as its above 20 i'll be there.......man,i think i'm addicted

Every day...some static but mostly in the bug...I love it. I moved to the coast 3 years ago to play in the wind...windsurfed or landsailed 300 or more days a year since...you won't catch me in a gym. But thanks for challenging the collective ego.

I budget 2 days a week regularly with a work schedule that allows me to choose most of the time based on wind and tide.

Today: low tide at 12:08 pm and on-shore breezes. High temps in the 50's will keep the Muggles away for wide-open park-and-rides, I hope.

Johnny see you there late morning. Gotta get you under the Blurr today....

go kiting today!!!!!!!

GO KITING GO KITING GO KITING GO KITING

dam F(@$#& offshore winds for today. Just like it's been most of the winter so far.

Still, no bad day at the beach... I'll be out there...:roll:

Kited with some buddies today at the local lake from 12-4ish. Winds were mid-high 20s gusting well into the 30s. Had my 11 out at first, but was getting overpowered in the gusts, so I busted out the 9. I love the quick steering on the smaller kites!

I was boosting a lot today. I know need to start throwing grabs in and other stuff, but the gusty winds we have here really make me focus on simply landing/surviving :shocked2: Plus the water and airtemps were pretty freakin cold, so biffing it wasn't pleasant at all ;/ I face planted once (and I got the kite wet :sniff: ) , and later overrotated when popping off some chop causing me to slide backwards on the water :/ (I didn't get THAT kite wet tho )

I can't wait for the warmer weather and water to biff it with impunity! :frog:

Got some flyin' in today too over at the air field. Little gusty and I'm still a little gun shy after my boo-boo but was scudding all over the grass there. Buggy nearing completion as well.

Just back from 3 weeks of New Zealand and Tasmania. It was off hook kiting fun! Had 15 sessions in 19 days! Kiting with penquins and seals in aquamarine blue water and white sands.....................aj
