Bryan,
It won't be much of a hassle at all since the only things we'll need to take are kites bars/ lines and harness/ springsuit. You see, I strategically left two boards at my in-laws place last year so that my equipment was always there waiting for me!!!!! LOL!!!! :lol: :shock: :P :mrgreen:

super smart!

i might tell my dad to pick up a sheet of marine ply and i can make 3 boards in about 1 hour.. then just poly them overnight and set to roll in the am.

cheap n quick!

just need to bring plates n straps...

heres the deal tho..

i have been doing a crapload of research on a brazillian kite trip. been in conversation with Jeff Weiss.. he is over there for the next 8 months or so.. been in contact with numerous owners of kite-friendly rooms/apts for rent...

for 1500$ (plus airfare) you can go on a tour trip where everything is taken care of.. if you want to go super cheap.. you can cut that cost in half and still have a ton of fun.

I am looking for mid to late september and looking for anyone else that might be interested in joining me. The guy I typically ride with, Dan, cannot get away so I am considering going solo...
