I agree with Metteo, ain’t no racing the water is way
to sweet and AJ, if you come you’ll see why it’s just for
cruising, Metteo! this time ya better follow me into those canals ;-)
the tide is going to be high at 12pm. I betcha Muncha is not going
to miss out on this ride again,Balloon B no questions just show up, you’re
coming, so! we’ve got our kites, boards and riders, now all we need is the wind;-)
so far it’s looking like 12-14knots ESE.

The pics are cool indeed, but, my favorite is still with that woman, doing that air with the bikini in her butt :twisted: ,
Going to miss ya on the water,AJ, I monitor 4 different weather sites and all are predicting 4 days of good wind this Friday evening Sat, Sun,Mon and Tues, I’m not going
to miss one of those days if they come to pass. I better put some glue on my lab rat make sure it doesn’t fall apart :D .

Nice shots AJ. Hope you guys get some good conditions. Have you tried the new Contra 14 m yet? I was out on one last Friday in conditions even too light for it for the most part. It had been blowing 18 kts. for about 4 hours until I got there. Still, it looks like it is a performer, want to see if it will out do one Switchblade 12 m. I managed to slide a nice cut in my foot during a board dismount so no riding for me for a few more days.

She does have a way about her to be sure PFW. I shot a ton of photos of her at Kite4Girls. The sensors stopped me from posting some of them, damn!

To date, those are the best pictures of me riding, for real!
(Thanks AJ) rockin the Cabrinha hard, ain’t I , This weekend
Is going to be crazy for real, I know I’m going to be able
to master the board offs. I’m taking Sunday off :twisted: , I’m planning
to take full advantage of all the wind from dawn till dusk, ride till my
arms fall off. Anyone talk to Balloon B and Peter bout the down winda?
I tried callin but got no answer.

I'm dying for a new board, the hearts willing,by the wallet isn't, besides
i'm crazy for the 06 120 protoy and there's no wind for that board right now, so by the next windy season,i know the price is going to drop( i hope)

spend less on yer girlfriend and more on kiting- its the more reliable of the two.

I have been out a few times on it and loved every moment.
my honest oppinion is that it is not as strong as the sb 16 or cb 16 but what it makes up in is manoverabilty wich helps light you up.
I have been out a a few cabrinha boards but I tell ya my fave board at the moment is the airush exile (thanks dave)
that board and kite combo is my summer fling.
