Lol thanks for the replies, and trust me, after a few lessons and a lot of research I'm already as much of a junkie as most of the people on all the forums :P ... I've been going to Ft. Desoto since I was a little kid, and I'm at the point where I knew where my instructor was going to tell me to meet before he told me... I've been flying stunt kites for years and boarding has challenged those skills to the max, but its all worth it... I keep an eye on the forums and friends so I can find people to go out with, so I hope to see ya'll out there.
And I've already warned the girlfriend 8)
