Man this thread is making me thirsty for some wind and beer. We're gonna have to all chip in and get Toby a custom 28M kite and a sheet of plywood with fins if this keeps up. You know I thought i would get my abs back when i got into this sport, but then there was that 5 month rainy thunderstorm season... and beer...

You have no idea. When Philthy started jumping down in SRQ, we were all pissed. The guy had been jumping for like one week and he was just launching off of the face of the planet, huge air and huge hangtime. We were happy for him but pissed that our fat asses were chained to the water, relatively speaking.

Yeah, he's a great jumper...

"His kite flies up, whilst his form follows from below: Men without kites never to heaven go."
(Hamlet...sort of)

Alas, whilst you are all standing on the beach, I shall be holding down my 7 Fuel in the next hurricane while donning my royal helmet on the crown of my skull!!!

Then I'llst ride in as soon as the pungent aroma of the food emanates toward the open water and hear the hiss of the beer bottles opening in thoust hands!!!

Literally literacy. Nice, Toby.

good riding from 3 till dark at Skyway tonight.....for those who braved the rain.
I counted 8 riders battling the limited visibility.....reminded me of Wales!

Cheers,

Chris

Itz rainy, itz cold , itz 20kts and I'm sick


Three outta four ain't good


:( :mad:

Fuk dis. Instead of kiting, I'm going to the tanning booth today. Glancing out the window, the weather reminds me of a Discovery Channel show about Alaskan King Crab fishing.

I am telling you, it is cold. Check out the attached photo of the Skyway channel, taken this morning.

it's not that cold. Come on it's blowing. That's all that really matters right. If we had a real winter this would be warm still.

def was not that cold.. wore drysuit but would have been fine in wetsuit..

thing was that there was no wind @ north skyway. it was gusty.. from nothing to decent and all things inbetween. def one of the worst early am sessions ever. barely able to stay with the wind.

It was def coming out of the NE.. just no strength to it at all. typical AM sessions have a good solid base of wind. Nothing like that today.

not worth waking up.

hoping those that went to South Skyway got some better conditions.
