9-day Litewave / Globe tour Jan24-Feb1

[litewavedave]

Hi to all my Florida friends...past, present and future. Happy New Year

I will be back Jan24-Feb1 for my annual Florida winter-tour and visit to the Jupiter Kite Invasion .

I planning on hitting Tampa area first, Jan 24th, then headed down the east coast and ending up at Jupiter the next weekend. Jan31-Feb1. ...wind dependent.

Of course, I will have the 2009 Litewave equipment and the new Globe Kites and super cool new innovative bars with me. You've never seen a depower system as cool as this. We improved the KPO system and have a new wood-core board called the 'Spirit'.

Please hit me up for a demo.

I'm looking forward to it. Northern California is cold and windless this time of year.

So is anybody going to show up? I'm planning on going to East Beach, St. Pete on my first stop, Saturday Jan-24th.

If there's any weather gurus that would give me a heads up, I'd appreciate it.

Try some gear...get a beer. <--that's my motto.

Hey Dave,

Welcome to Florida. Saturday is way off in the future regarding forecasts. They usually don't start to gel into place until about three days off and even less. Right now it is looking light and easterly on Saturday for St. Pete per NWS. Thermals can come out of almost no where regardless of what the forecast is at times as well. You never know though so keep the faith and have a great demo session on Saturday.

You can see what is in the forecast at:

Yo Dave, great swappin' ditties and catching up...see you and the new gear soon.

Looking forward to finding a home for the 8m and 14m Sonics and getting a ride on the new stuff. Here's one of your products looking tasty in Anguilla...

Hey Dave,

As Rick said wind can happen at anytime this time of year. Todays forecast was weak but actually rideable all day for the most part depending on your location.

It is hit or miss this time of year as most of the wind is driven by cold fronts.

You may keep an eye on things Friday with the forecast and then post a location for the demo based on the wind direction. I am sure with your light wind board you don't need much.

East beach is good for NE, E, SE, S, and SSW. However if the wind is North you might go somewhere else. If the wind is NW, W, or SW you might yet go to a different location.

Would be happy to offer advice on Friday regarding a location that would work best in the event there is a little rideable wind.

There a still alot of people that read the forum, but most do not write or respond on here as there has been a fair share of bullying in the past.

Give me a call on my cell when you get to town and we can discuss a battle plan.

Hey Dave like Steve O said don't let lack of response on this forum make you think that folks are not reading it. I think the move of date is good, tomorrow does not look so good. Keep in mind no beer allowed to be seen at East Beach. I like the motto and live by it, just wanted to give you a heads up. See ya when you get here. Craig

[litewavedave]

Jan30-Feb1 Jupiter

Feb 2-3 Miami, Crandon

Feb 4-5 Keys, IslaMorada (Whale Harbor)

I love my v-sonic 11, i cant wait to demo the other kites and the litewave boards. My v-sonic has handled all super gusty days and i am afraid to jump it as high as it will go! See you there eddie skyway from sarasota

[litewavedave]

Next stop for Monday is Whale Harbor in Islamorada.


Then Tuesday, Miami, Crandon

Lots of kites to try

OK, here's the latest schedule for the ongoing Litewave / GK demo tour.

Today was windy, but too cold to kite.

Friday, Feb 6th: Ft. Lauderdale....Damon's Bar-n-Grille...by Commercial Blvd.
Saturday, Feb7: Miami, Crandon Park

On the tour so far people are really loving the kites AND boards, so come take a ride and see why the 2009 GK/Litewave gear is better than ever.
