It's a stretch, but.....
Wednesday DP at Eb....anyone got a kite I could ride? lol I'm gonna head to EB wed early morning to try and catch some wind on my 9m waroo. My 16m bridle is busted, as I posted about before, and the new bridles still haven't come in from Best. So, I don't have a big kite. My buddy ara is meeting me at EB to ride around 2pm when he gets out of class and we were just gonna take turns on his 16m waroo. Someone got something I could demo?? Help a brutha out.....pah pah pleeeease. I'll be gentle.
 I haven't rode in a couple weeks now and I'm frrreeaking out!!!sean

It should be windy. What do you weigh? I will be there at about 8.
Can you hold down a 13m Fuel in 25 knots? Is your 9m not enough in 25?

scott, the 9m is beautiful in 25. I'm moreso talking when it starts to die down. That's why I plan on being there early early...to catch the heavier stuff.
im 175lbs.

Oh. Hopefully it won't "slow" til 10:30 am. Then I bet it holds at 15 to 18 til about 1pm.
I just through the 13m Slingshot in the truck for ya'. Can't promise it will hold air though. I haven't pumped it up in awhile.

Who do I contact for Lessons?
I am an old high school buddy of Zack Kaplan's. I am posting this request on this thread because I do not see how to post a new thread - sorry.
I am an old Laser sailer and high school wake boarder (back in the day). I want to get going in this sport. Thanks for your help! Gris

Gris..
check out http://www.epickitesurfing.com/ theres a link for lessons.. some great instructors in our local area. bit of advice.. we are nearing the end of the season .. getting lessons now might not be useful as the winds will start to die off until fall. but.. if you do any traveling.. you might benefit. just hate to see anyone pay the $$ then have to wait 3 or 4 months to put your new skillz to use. you need 15 to 18 mph winds to learn in. Too little and you will get frustrated. Too much and you will get hurt. 15 to 18 is perfect learning wind. good luck!

Don't get suckered into a lesson unless it's blowing at least 13-15mph... or you'll be throwing away your hard earned cash!

Zack was one of the original dawn patrollers.
Last time I saw him (last summer) he was really into flying planes. I agree, for your water lesson a great day would be 15 or so. Don't waste your time and money in really light wind. There are lots of instructors around. Water sports West is where Zack got most of his gear and they provide lessons. I imagine that is where he would steer you so I mention it.
