I couldn't ask for a better welcome back. I'm just loving my new Contra 14m.....I'm just waiting for that new surf board now !!!
Hey Dilette53 you rock, is it true that you have only been out 6 times !! At my 6th session I was still trying to figure out how to stay on the board !!!! Way to go man !!! I guess these new Bow kites make it easier too. My first kite had practically now wind range...I was either way overpowered and obviously I could not hold the edge = walk of shame or underpowered = walk of shame. |
Yeh man its about my sixth session....first time i've tacked up wind like that...thanks to A.J........ I need to learn how to land on a regular though....so i can start tryin more crazy stuff....
|
protect ya head
get a helmet and I will teach you more.
aj |
Thanks for the tips PFW.....i think the first trick im gonna devote a session to is landing.

As much as I loathe the name of this thread... it seems to be where everyone talks about the next place to kite. If everyone isn't too tired from kiting on Friday while I'm at work... what is everyone thinking for Sunday?
I don't think I've kited in a southwest/west wind before... is that Jaws Beach?... Lyford Cay? |
wit some solid west wind jaws would be amazing...i checked it out one day at work....jus need someone willing to go all the way out there with me to ride???
|
Well.. sunday is supposed to be windy so I'll be there. iKite just downgraded to 15 knots... but Windfinder is still calling for 24knots.... but I have an 07 16 metre Flow SLE now... so that should work just fine! It's high time I started taking to the air.
And what is going on with no one posting? Robby... that last thread you started ("tired of all the driving") really wrecked everything... way to go! Next time you don't feel like driving to Go Slow... keep it to yourself y'big whiner! ;) |
oh yeaaaaaa
goodmans on friday or mabe love beach waves on sunday
aj |
Keeping my fingers crossed that the forecast holds up for Sunday. If so, it should be solid since its sunday and everyone is free....AJ maybe u can get free.....we should do a downwinder if there are some waves out.
|
for sure
every sunday I have been at church and with my kids and evry sunday I get the gucci hand shake from my wife ..she says go go out riding after church.
church finnishes and the rain comes down or th wind drops I get skunked. so this sunday I'm not going to church I gave to go riding. anyways I will see you guys give me a hail and let me know what time you guys are going out. aj |
hmm... Windfinder.com was claiming 28 knots afternoon peak all week.
iKite was waffling midweek claiming 15 knots. NOW... both Windfinder and iKite are boasting 29 knots at 2-3pm! Anyone game for a morning go out so I don't get blown away? |
Finally It's Cranking down here!!!! 10m AWAY!!!:D

Git it while the gittins' good
Why isn't anyone posting on one of the windiest weeks of the year? WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?
I was out last night at Club Med and learned once again how nasty that new hotel is. It casts a wind shadow for kilometers down the beach. Anyway... things couldn't have been better... I just stayed at the end of the beach north of the hotel. That water is incredibly flat in an ENE wind. Thanks to a few changes including copying Dave's footstrap set up... lowering my harness so it doesn't ride up (I can't believe I was too dumb to try this earlier)...and of course Mateo's patience in the last few weeks with getting me launched and rescued... I finally felt like I had the hang of it. I could leverage my weight against the kite better, the board was responding, I was zipping upwind easily, getting off the water.... aaaah... I think I'll go out again tonight. ... start posting more posts... remember... 8 more days until the new hotel opens... club med's last days! |
