Bruce

ill either be going from 12-2 or 4-6, depending on when its blowing

the winds already picked up, if it holds i will be there at 11:30,
anyone else in?

I'm in trouble with this hand. Does that count? :x

I am gonna try to be there around 3pm.
Watching Randy on the baynews9 skycam (bastage!) and hoping Donna doesn't get the "you gotta stay" bull#$% at work again.

damn.

i got cornered into having to go to a party afterwork. no kiting today for this chum. I am sitting 10 blocks from cypress right now..

gear is back in st. pete.

ugh!!!!!!

thankfully the weekend is looking mighty fine.

When trapped in a corner, try farting. Sometimes people let you out if they can't stand the smell :shock:
It should be nukin'.

Is this the cypress that you're talking about? If so, will it be obvious where I should park? I assume I'll see someone there who can point out the setup area etc.

yep thats it.

go down the very very very end of cypress and you will be forced to take a left into the parking lot of a business complex.

go through the complex and you come to a small road..

take a right and it dead ends at the park.

very obvious once you are there.

if you have never been there.. careful of all the sharp rocks on the beach and what nots.. lots of feet and kite hazzards to be cautious of.

So, it's not exactly a kid friendly beach area then?

Perhaps I'll stop at K-Mart and pick up some watershoes.

Phone call to girlfriend:

See?


I know JUST how it is...

:lol:

Cool thing is that my GF is completely supportive of my kiting and time spent doing so. She is an avid volleyball player so she has always been going out on week nights and weekends for tournaments / team matches..etc so she loved that I picked a sport that got my ass out of the house, away from my xbox and computer games.

She also didnt seem too upset when i told her i just spent a big chunk of change on two new kites and am looking to buy an SUV this weekend to better accomodate my kite gear.

Life is good.

try a wife :shock:

Thanks!

I don't remember the names of the great people I met yesterday at Cypress, but I wanted to pass along a huge THANK YOU for all your help. Kiteboarders (generally speaking) are a great bunch of peeps - doubly so in Tampa. I may just have to make a trip down here for the sole purpose of kiteboarding. Lord knows I wish I could join you guys today and tomorrow.

Yesterday was the first time that I got on on plane for any length of time and it seemed like I was holding ground pretty well against the wind. My only frustration yesterday was the leaky leading edge on the Neme which I thought I had fixed. Next... going upwind!

If you ever find yourself in northwest Ohio, feel free to look me up (PM me here to get ahold of me). I'd be glad to show you around. Cedar Point is worth the trip alone.

NOooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!


Girlfriend hates all the money I spend on kites, and then I talk about buying new kites all the time and she hates it even more.


I still plan on getting her kiting eventually.
