Wish I was playing Golf, but its moving day
A 10 handicap isn't bad,I am just handicapped....
If there is enough interest, we should have a kiter golf event this summer.
Any other hackers out there?

maybe we could have someone on the beach whacking golf balls at kiters.... could be the next extreme sport....


on a more serious note, for almost a year now ive been keeping my eye out for one of the original style nerf footballs, i think it would be cool to take out to the beach and play catch while kiting..

maybe even create some sort of game.. 4 on 4 kite foot ball, same rules as ultimate frisbee, when you get the ball you have to stop and try to throw it to a team mate... could be alot of fun.....

whos in????

I say we play tackle, you have to hit the opponents wing tip to send them into a loop and crash with out tangling kites, could be dangerous, but then whats the point?

my dad said that when he was growing up they used to tie razor blades to the tips of their stunt kites and have kite fights..... sounds like fun

When I lived in Korea it was big to dip your lines in glue and Glass and then fight them like that.

Had just enough seabreeze at SB today to ride upwind. Around 10-13 knots from the W/NW. 14m and a flightdeck in flat water Winds should stay the same for the rest of the week.

No idea about the wind this week.

I rode at PaG this afternoon. It was about 10 to maybe 12 knots. I rode a 12m.
I did a few upwinders/downwinders. Upwind about a mile to just past the Undertow, then back. Did that about 3 times.
I also went out into the Pass. The current was ripping out (gave much better apparent wind) and there were some decent waves about a 1/2 mile offshore where the sandbar is located.
That was pretty fun out in that area.
