No I am not kidding. That's what sealed my decision to call Donna and have her come out after work and ride is when you said you were leaving.
It wasn't nuking like in the morning or anything, but it was blowing.

It really is the oddest coincidence I have ever seen in kiting.
I would make a guess that you don't affect the wind only about 20% of the time and get totally screwed the rest of the time (80%) with it dying within 15 minutes of showing. Does that sound about right?

I have only seen one other guy do that (me 3 seasons ago, for about 4 months). I actually started to feel guilty for showing up it was so obvious I killed it (like 20 times in a row!)
You are going on 2 years now. Really bad luck. Definitely keep showing up and riding with us (just post first so when can get in some time on the water.... )
