welcome chris
 
gday Chris
are you a xpat just here to work for a year?
or are you a returning Bahamian?
anyways you will find that we are approachable on the beach and eager to get more people into the sport.
there is a good learning curb with kiteboarding , it will take you about 3 months before you are jumping if you come out when there is wind.
the wind looks like it's going to be ending up south west over the week end .
we will probably be at Blue hill (south beach) and maybe at coral harbor if you want to come and watch and meet the small but gnarley crew .
anyways see ya when we are looking at ya

hey,
Chrisinbahamas recommended I take a look at this site and I see there's a pretty good kiteboarding scene out here, I've seen 2 guys out at Cabbage beach with a yellow kite and red kite. It looks cool and I've been checking out the sites for kiteboarding and whatnot. He told me about dillete and how he kiteboards out east so next time you go out dillete if you call chris, me and him would like to come check it out and find out a little about it. My cell is 427-4176 if hes not there.

Hey

Chris

BahamaDave 06-04-2007 04:18 PM

I hope that we get some wind for this weekend, I know chris told you his weight and everything already but i am 6'3 and 180lbs. Just letting you know so you dont assume we are the same weight or anything if it matters.

mocean 06-04-2007 09:01 PM

weekend
 
no worries
The forecast has dropped off for the weekend,if it stays up passed 10kts we will go, if not we will have to try another day.
I'm glad that you dave are a bit heavier because I only have one harness that will fit a 120 pounder.
anyways I have asked Matteo for a hand with teaching you guys and he has said yes..
so just keep ya fingers crossed I'll give you a hail on Friday to check in for Saturday.
have a good week
aj

chrisinbahamas 06-05-2007 05:43 PM

A.j, do you know, if we are going to go in the morning or the afternoon or in the middle or does it matter when the wind is blowing the hardest

thanks
chris
