What do I need to check regarding rides, how can I see that they look good? Sometimes rides can be dangerous? Quote:

Just as sure as there are little green tomatoes on this earth,
every afternoon in July and August from about 6-8pm we'll get buckets pouring down on us with the occasional Zap-Boom! |

T.I. is Tybee Island- (in Georgia).
Please avoid riding in the swim zones there too.;) I heard of a possible lightning strike on a kiter while getting my haircut today. CG was out looking for them with helis and boats Sat. evening around SPB. Anyone heard anything? |
It doesn't surprise me. I watched 3 guys last summer go out in a full on lightning storm. I refused to launch any of them. I know kiteboarding is "cool" but it ain't that cool.
Go get a taser gun, shock yourself, and then decide if you want to kite. Much safer! |
Deciding if it is safe to kite
Up until this week we were fine riding Seabreezes but that is changing. Unsettled weather has been killing our winds for the past 3 days. The mote site will give you an accurate forecast of the tidal changes; you want an outgoing tide the steeper the better.
I wish there was a foolproof way of determining afternoon thunderstorms but alas there is none. become a member on The SRQ website and send a message. You will get several responses from knowledgeable riders at South Lido. we have a meeting Saturday evening at South Lido at 7PM with food and adult beverages. Come early and try to get a few rides (tides willing) then stick around join the pArty and meet the crew. |
