had a session in Ft Lauderdale on Friday. Was stuck in West Palm with no gear so I went online and found a guy who rented kiteboarding equipt. Met up with him at Hollywood Beach about 12 hours after Katrina went thru. Was 20-25 SE with 4 ft surf. He only rented North which wasn't bad stuff but difficult conditions to start out with unfamiliar everything. Throw in a crowd on the beach and in the water and my fat gut after windless summer - lets say it was fun but pretty intense.
Seemed like a pretty cool crew over there. Damian from East Coast Kiteboarding (and his sexy wife) were very nice and helpfull. Would be nice to have my own kites again one day ;-) and definately need a golf bag for up and coming trip to DR. Yes - my horrible wife bought me trip to DR in a few weeks so better decide quick if anyone out there wants to tag along. MM |

He started me on a 122 board (noname?) and a rihno 8m which was way underpowered. I gave him benifit of the doubt because the conditions were crazy and he didn't know my ability. The next size up he had was a 12m which I didn't even check type. it was north but more of a medium aspect than the rihno? and he dug up a board that was more like 140. By the time I figured this combo out I reckon it was dropping to under 20 knots (15 to 22) Was a good fit, little overpowered in the gusts. Did a few nice jumps and surfed a couple of waves. Was absalutely exhausted after an 2 x 45 minute sessions. Very different riding in the open ocean swells. Made me apreciate our flat water
