Well, our first couple days have been great. I got some kiting (not boarding, just kites) in, although the wind is pretty dead/gusty except in the late afternoon.
I can see that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to kiteboard in this.
I am getting the hang of my quad line kite, but I'm a bit confused. It looks like all the kiteboarders in the videos only have dual line kites...but I read that you really want to use a quad line for greater control (ie. the ability to power down instantly).
Our condo phone number is (941) 778-1496 if you're on Anna Maria Island and want to hang out before Saturday give me a ring.
