Hmmm... just checked the forecast. We got 15+ predicted for four days in a row. Sounds good to me. Where do you get your forecasts again?
I hope it happens. We got alot of stuff to demo (too much, IMO :o )

Need wind....(gasp)...

Tropical wave pushing thru southern tip of FL should give us some wind....

that accuweather is funky, it gives st. auggy 10-15 for the weekend, mymami 14-16 and st.petey 11-15

Hopefully everyone will get some wind

personally I use the marine forecasts

Hey the Keys and miami are looking the windiest this july fourth weekend; any ideas?

15m Ion for sale & questions about 14m Contra
 

I'm the guy who sold the Ion - I've been advised by quite a few people with experience that this was a bad move, but like EBone said, "to each his own".

Speaking of Ebone, you & Alex helped me launch that kite one day at Ft DeSoto (I appreciate the help & the adivce - you guys are money!).

I'm new & I dont havemuch experience, but I like the feel of the other 2 kites I have (Naish) & am replacing the Ion with a Contra - hopefully it will be a decent move.

Anyone have any opinion on the 14 Contra?

I have heard people say that it is one badass kite

I myself am selling my 12M and 16M Crossbow to get the new 14M and 17M Contra kites

bono, it'z all about being happy with your quiver, so if you like your Ion's replacement better, then you are better off without the Ion. Having met you that day with Alex, I am glad to report to the forum that this is certainly not a crack-influenced sale.

good luck, bono, and I will see you on the beach.

15m Ion
 

Ebone - cool & thanks

I'm always learning & will give newbie opinion on the Contra when I get it.

I'll be out there bustin' my ass this weekend.

I'm moving to Eastern Germany (Dresden) so if anyone comes through the area & needs a place to stay, let me know - its about 1.5 hours south of Berlin & 2 hours north of Prague - great, cheap beer (even though its warm)

John,

Don't take my comments too seriously. The contra is a great lightwind kite, no questions. I tend to exaggerate with words like CRACKHEAD... BONER BRAINS.. etc... too try to get a laugh. :D

As Bayflite often says "ALL kites kickass" 8)
Now boards.. well... lemme tell ya' a stor..... (Daryl just came in)

crackehead
 

naw - its all good!!

I've never been accused of being overly smart

how the saying go? ingnorance is bliss..... :?

i'm just having a good time playing

nice spelling
 

DAMN!

I spell like a 6 year old
