Today the Tampa crew just doubled in size! at the end of my downwinder from Avon I ran into Bryan and Dan who had just arrived and were heading out into the waves, cool!
I know I said yesterday was my fav , but now today is. Served up some nice atlantic waves for two hours this morning 18-22kts side side-offshore perfect riding conditions before anybody showed up then it lightened to 15-16kt and a whole bunch of kiters showed up for a downwinder so I joined them. Pretty tired and stoked after that sweet wave session.

only 13 hour trip for us cuz we dont take no wimpy naps on our drive!
ha! got to the obx at 9am and saw kites flying at buxton.. we launched our 16s and enjoyed some early am breeze. ice cold water slapping across the face equals 6 cups o' joe. hatteras is sparse. a lot different than i was expecting. .. its truly a sliver of land between 2 huge bodies of water. every building is on 10 foot stilts.. we are on the 3rd floor (4th if you count the stilts) ... amazing view of the atlantic... huge bottle of sailor jerry to go! tomorrow looks very promising!! yee haw! |
Thursday afternoon the wind came up after 3pm, fully litt on the 17m, others on the 12m
I counted at least 80 kites in the 10 mile stretch between avon and buxton kitepoint http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...skitepoint.jpg Afternoon kites http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...rnoonkites.jpg Sunset kites http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...unsetkites.jpg Should be a great downwinder day today! |

I thought I saw a scarecrow in the weeds
OR maybe it was a Jack IN the Beanstalks Bryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
friday started off a bit shaky for dan and i...
lets just say the Element is an amazing vehicle ... but a Sand Traversing Machine it is not. That info comes at a price. 150$ to be exactly. I am positive that the most lucrative business in this area is towing. oh well. we were un-stuck by noon and hit kitepoint for about an hour session.. got our stuff together and prepped for a very very nice downwinder from Kitepoint to First turn-out. Just an amazing way to spend a couple hours.. tons of wind.. so much space and water... and a couple slicks to cruise around.. (or get stuck behind and have to trudge thru sludge to get out... oh well) todays wind should pick up.. looking for a Planet of the Apes to Real Slick run today!! |
Today and yesterday was awesome, great place for downwinders. It was great to meet up with Dan and Bryan and join them for a downwinder yesterday and today. Downwinders get you out of the pack with tons of space to ride here.
Ugg back to work on Monday. Can't wait for the Gorge and Oregon coast in July! |
Awesome time!
kited 7 out of 8 days, all of them on either 9 or 12m except for one day on a 17m. The usual up here is 50/50 so lucky! tired and sore, yesterday Litt on the 12m , Lill'L on a 7 and today 12m + 9m downwind victory http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...indvictory.jpg Dan and Bryan http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...0/DanBryan.jpg Packing up http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i.../packingup.jpg woof! |
