Ikite says it's blowing 18 at skyway....
gotta question though
has anyone looked at the past 7 days on ikite wind graphs, there are gusts going from 5 to 35-40 in just a few minutes...

Now, if it's blowing East and I'm close to the shore at BS;
between all the trees and the 10 lanes of highway,
do I have any chance of survival at all?

I wonder what's the best to do in that case? Should I crash the kite or kill it completely, or is there a way to ride it out ( kite de-powered at 11-12 or something)?
on ikite, last thursday it went from 0 to 35 in 5-10 minutes, is the gust instantaneous or gradual build-up?

damn it, now I'm skrrrd
