Default tuesday

should be picking up in the afternoon.. everyone going to skyway?
anyone want to hit st. petersburg beach (north of pier ... parking lot on 10th ave N) ???

NOT for beginners.. i launch in the park and walk kite between some trees to get to water.. if the crowds are not there you can launch on beach way up on the far north tip.

cool place to ride but can get hairy if you get caught down wind.. nothing but concrete and DOOM if you get off your line.

Go for it. Didn't you land on a car one time in the dark there?

Ahhh... memories.
No, that was land rover at Tierra Verde. I had been riding about 4 months, just learning to jump. I jumped in solid 25 and well... went quite far... landing on a land rover, ripping it's rear view mirror off and denting it quite well. I was so new to the sport, I thought you went up, then down. I didn't know you went downwind while in the sky.
After I landed, I proceeded to get dragged about 50 yards (no QR).
I always ride underpowered at night now and only around compact cars.

Anyone up for a night session, tomorrow night? Should be epic, maybe all week long at night.

I'll go for a night session tomorrow night. I go to USF St. Pete and will be getting out of class at 9:00pm and LP is just a minute down the road. If you're looking for someone to ride with I'm down. Need to know so I can pack my gear when I head to class tomorrow morning. Let me know bro!

Lets meet at 8:30. I have a one glow stick, not a stash of them. I also have a strobe to downwind of things flashing!
It looks like it blew real good last night as Lassing from around 8 30 to 11.

Heck it might seabreeze today as well. I am going to be ready for anything come 5pm. This time of year, anything goes, you just gotta be there when it happens.

Cool. I get out of class at 9:00pm and I can always walk out a little early. I'll try to be at LP by 8:45. I have no glowsticks, and no time to try and buy some. I can just steer clear of you since you'll be lit up and we shouldn't have any problems. I'm sure we'll be the only ones there.
