The wind dance didn't do much for the wind gods, but the chicken kabobs were enough offering to produce rideable wind from 1:00-4:30.(10-15 knots).I was told Saturday was also rideable for a few hours, so if you're at the beach and rigged, you might just get a little water time... Its also a good chance to practice with the kite, body drag, self rescue, or fly a trainer. Anyone have a land board for sale?

Steve, sorry I didn't make it. Ended up with a Migraine on Sunday and spent most of the day in bed trying to hide my eyes from sunlight. Good times, let me tell ya...

Cool Sunday

I waited for the wind in front of the Sirata Hotel and was able to ride for maybe an hour flying a 14 Contra and a Dimitri Pro 135. By the way if somebody ever find a white Pittsburgh Steelers cap at the Gulf please return it to me. =(
Like Steve mention also took some time to fly my trainer kite and practice some one hand flying.

If anyone finds a Pittsburgh Steelers cap in the Gulf, please douse it with gasoline and burn it while waving a New England Patriots flag. Then douse the ashes with gasoline and burn THEM!!!

I have a landBoard... Not forsale, But I am Interested in some Good riding spots if you know any, I have talked to the people at the model airplane flying field off of ulmerton, They let me fly there when the wind is too much for their planes.

treasure island is one place where i would landboard.. tons of room..

id think the entire st. pete area would be questionable .. cant think of one large open space area .. tampa out beyond the town it opens up but that probably all private land.

I have a good spot ( about 65acres) farm land near my house in Seffner, Good place to ride The farmer is a nice guy and doesn't mind as long as I don't leave any trash, The only thing is If its blowing 25knt on the coast its only about 15 and gusty Inland. I can't complain, though, Its close to home and my 9m will get me riding in in 15knts.4 a quick fix. Not many landboarders around this area though.
