What do I need to check regarding rides, how can I see that they look good? Sometimes rides can be dangerous? Ok, so it means that I have to be careful when the sky is going dark because of the clouds? Yesterday evening around 7pm, there had a dark sky with a little rain, I need to take care at this moment? |

Just as sure as there are little green tomatoes on this earth,
every afternoon in July and August from about 6-8pm we'll get buckets pouring down on us with the occasional Zap-Boom!

Sorry, but what do you mean by 'little green tomatoes on this earth' ?
I went to South Lido Beach yesterday evening, indeed a nice little seabreez was there. Where is TI ? |

T.I. is Tybee Island- (in Georgia).
Please avoid riding in the swim zones there too. I heard of a possible lightning strike on a kiter while getting my haircut today. CG was out looking for them with helis and boats Sat. evening around SPB. Anyone heard anything? |

It doesn't surprise me. I watched 3 guys last summer go out in a full on lightning storm. I refused to launch any of them. I know kiteboarding is "cool" but it ain't that cool.
Go get a taser gun, shock yourself, and then decide if you want to kite. Much safer!

Deciding if it is safe to kite
Up until this week we were fine riding Seabreezes but that is changing. Unsettled weather has been killing our winds for the past 3 days. The mote site will give you an accurate forecast of the tidal changes; you want an outgoing tide the steeper the better.
I wish there was a foolproof way of determining afternoon thunderstorms but alas there is none. become a member on The SRQ website and send a message. You will get several responses from knowledgeable riders at South Lido. we have a meeting Saturday evening at South Lido at 7PM with food and adult beverages. Come early and try to get a few rides (tides willing) then stick around join the pArty and meet the crew. |

Cool I will be there! After great advice I had on this topic regarding the kite size for this summer, I bought a North Rebel 09 10m with a bar (I receive it today), and I found an used Rebel 14m without bar but I will have it next week, so maybe it will not have enough wind this weekend to try my 10m, but for sure I will be at the meeting. Thanks for the information Last edited by Anto; 06-18-2010 at 11:34 AM. |
