Thats one of the examples they teach you in high school, there can be many differences/ variances to this simplistic model as well

C. Moore 04-19-2006 12:42 PM

I know, so many things to account for. If it was this easy we would be on it every day at the right time. LOL

Yeah, this would SUCK!!! All winds DIRECTLY onshore or offshore :shock: !!!

BigR 04-19-2006 02:22 PM

well..... Tampa Bay IS pretty circular. you can always pick a different spot where the wind direction is to your liking.......................

toby wilson 04-19-2006 02:50 PM

I was talking about if the wind just worked like in those models...if that were the case, it would be blowing directly offshore at night and directly onshore in the morning...just acting like an idiot!!! :mrgreen:

Dudez, I got all over the seabreeze tonight. I was on the 9m Waroo and the Glide. Can't wait until my 12 Waroo comes in, it would have been perfect.

I am jealous, Bayflite. I am tired of waiting but WTF.

Whats the biggest size they are making? And are the larger kites going to perform as good as the smaller ones? I flew the Waroo 9 and it was nice. Missed my chance to try the turbo diesel in miami, Jay was havin' too much fun on it! Besides, I am still lovin' what I got, but I will definitely consider a bow for my high wind kite.

steve, i'd definitly get a small one for your high wind kite! I was riding Pj's 12 crossbow that day i should have been on my 7 probably half way depowerd on the 7. I had plenty of depower left. David was riding my 7 meter and he weighs 160 and he was pretty lit up.

I'm definitly changing my quiever to some bows

Stevil Kenevil 04-20-2006 07:30 AM

Oh, I saw ya' out there, or should I say UP THERE!!!! Boosting HUGE jumps. I wish I had my camera that day, I wont forget it next time! You were like some kind of "Josh-tronaut" or something... Sick man, just plain sick! MY eyes are definitely opened to the new school kites.

I am so proud of my new avatar, I just have to post again....

E-Bone 04-20-2006 10:27 AM

I've heard the Waroos are going to go up to 20m, but we'll see.

toby wilson 04-20-2006 10:29 AM

Yeah Steve, I am so proud of my new avatar too that I just had to make a post... :shock: :lol:

I just came across this picture, haven't seen it in a long time...it looks a lot funnier when it is larger...

Optionryder420 04-20-2006 06:13 PM

I've seen you in person, and it IS pretty funny :lol:

toby wilson 04-21-2006 07:34 AM

ONLY when I tell a joke...well...okay, I guess always!!! :oops: :lol:
