wow, that actually makes the backside look like a nice place to ride :shock:
man do i need some wind

hey Scott, how are the seabreezes over there, i might take a drive on sat, is it worth it?

BigR 08-17-2006 02:53 PM

Nice, I'm puttin' rose colored lenses on all my shots now!


Actually, Scottie said he was driving here this weekend, but anyways,

if you are good and patient you can kite this weekend on a 15m kite easy, Last sunday I was powered on a 15m ion and other people were on 12m or 16m as well ( sunday afternoon @ backside ).

see sundays wind?

Just have to wait and be patient and keep an eye on the wind, just like you do for all those killer kite deals you find, LOL! :lol: :shock: :D

Totally on or totally off and always a coin toss. Last Sunday I got 16 to 20 for several hours, the next day... nada. Today it is nada and tomorrow might blow. I also can't find any rhyme or reason to it. Weird stuff.

BigR 08-17-2006 02:56 PM

might be dry here and set up an pm seabreeze here this weekend , i hope

Skyway Scott 08-17-2006 03:21 PM

I hope so too :D

inferno 08-17-2006 03:22 PM

unfortunately i cant do the "hey its starting to blow, by babe gotta go..."
i have to try to plan my trips, maybe ill take the wife (and kites) to desoto in the afternoon and hang out at the beach...

hey Bob, can you make it out to big beach again? we gotta try out the new waroos :D

Same problem here. Seems when I plan for it and find a sitter, no wind... if I can't find a sitter, it hits 15.

This weekend I am going to try to have someone lined up for both afternoons starting at 3pm to see if I get lucky.

inferno 08-17-2006 04:34 PM

tom you could bring her and we could take turns kiting :D

i'd offer to do it, but problem is when it's windy i wana kite lol, but anytime during the week i get out of school at 1:50, and normally not in the mood to kite (hard to belive i know) I'll do it then.

well untill we get back into our season that is, coldfronts and hurricanes i'll always be down to kite.. but i HATE these seabreezes, so don't even bother to try to get a ride there.
