Thumbs up welcome chris

gday Chris
are you a xpat just here to work for a year?
or are you a returning Bahamian?
anyways you will find that we are approachable on the beach and eager to get more people into the sport.
there is a good learning curb with kiteboarding , it will take you about 3 months before you are jumping if you come out when there is wind.
the wind looks like it's going to be ending up south west over the week end .
we will probably be at Blue hill (south beach) and maybe at coral harbor if you want to come and watch and meet the small but gnarley crew .
anyways see ya when we are looking at ya

Default some free or cheap kites

mark is looking at helping out a local that can't afford gear with his old gear when he upgrades. ( which will be soon)
you will need to take a few lessons to make sure that you can set up launch and understand all of the safety and self rescue .
i WANT TO HELP LOCALS GET TO RIDING LEVEL.
if you would like I will hook you up with your first lesson for free and if you want any more lessons you will have to pay..and no dought roby mateo and the rest of them will allso help you out with advice ect.
so give me a hail to sort out your first lesson .

hey,
Chrisinbahamas recommended I take a look at this site and I see there's a pretty good kiteboarding scene out here, I've seen 2 guys out at Cabbage beach with a yellow kite and red kite. It looks cool and I've been checking out the sites for kiteboarding and whatnot. He told me about dillete and how he kiteboards out east so next time you go out dillete if you call chris, me and him would like to come check it out and find out a little about it. My cell is 427-4176 if hes not there.


Dave
