Nice, I'm puttin' rose colored lenses on all my shots now!


Actually, Scottie said he was driving here this weekend, but anyways,

if you are good and patient you can kite this weekend on a 15m kite easy, Last sunday I was powered on a 15m ion and other people were on 12m or 16m as well ( sunday afternoon @ backside ).

see sundays wind?

Just have to wait and be patient and keep an eye on the wind, just like you do for all those killer kite deals you find, LOL! :lol: :shock: :D

Totally on or totally off and always a coin toss. Last Sunday I got 16 to 20 for several hours, the next day... nada. Today it is nada and tomorrow might blow. I also can't find any rhyme or reason to it. Weird stuff.

Same problem here. Seems when I plan for it and find a sitter, no wind... if I can't find a sitter, it hits 15.

This weekend I am going to try to have someone lined up for both afternoons starting at 3pm to see if I get lucky.

This weekend I am going to try to have someone lined up for both afternoons starting at 3pm to see if I get lucky.i'd offer to do it, but problem is when it's windy i wana kite lol, but anytime during the week i get out of school at 1:50, and normally not in the mood to kite (hard to belive i know) I'll do it then.

well untill we get back into our season that is, coldfronts and hurricanes i'll always be down to kite.. but i HATE these seabreezes, so don't even bother to try to get a ride there.

Nah guys, it's cool, thanks for the offer. When it's windy I want my buddies to kite, not babysit for me. Once in awhile if I come out to watch everyone ride and someone has been riding all day and offers to watch her while they take a break (bayflite and Scott & Donna do this once in awhile), then I agree... but I don't like to ask for someone to give up riding time, ever :)

Besides, if I'm not riding I'm shooting video... so I'll just be doing that instead.
