For a guy so reluctant to believe me about kiting 2 yrs ago you sure have done a 180! Glad to see you've come to the light---wish I sold the gear tho -cuz I think you've bought a ton o' the stuff! -Teran

Nice to meet you and your mn buds Stroh! I was fairly comfy on my 14m which by most stds is pretty good kiting conds. Water was flat, smooth and fast at the north flats with no crowd whatsoever. If you're lookin' for more wind just drive 20 mins over to Holly beach and you'll be droppin' about 4m2 i...

Hi Chanrider, Sorry If I seemed hostile. I am really a fun-loving guy that's in fact why I made the comittment to move here from Mn. I love kiteboarding massively! You, as well as many others probably are quite unaware of the imminent changes to one of the planets greatest kiteboarding venues. Notab...

Better bring you drysuit, hood, boots and gloves if you want to sail or kite here this wknd! It's already windy and should continue to be until Saturday. I kited the gulf yday in large, pounding but fully disorganized swell and beat the hell out of my knees and back but its worth it! Gusts were to 3...

Hey Steve! I hear you are really kiting now! So glad you've seen the light. When are you and Nancy headed to Kite South Central? Enjoy the ice/snow riding on Cedar for me...-Teran

Thanks be to God that Judd, Diane, Pete, John, Steve, Carol, Steve and I had the wonderful pleasure of spending a wonderful dinner with Jack the night before his passing yesterday afternoon.

Just read about your big move amigo! Hope you can handle all that awesome sunshine and perfect golfing conditions. Maybe I'll see you on your next Padre visit or better yet someday in the Gorge or Maui.-Cheers long lost friend, Teran

Hi hunter, hope to see ya' here. If your looking to kite I'm usually game. I have a gym on the island if'n there's no wind--doubt it though-this time of year. Teran Hughes/Island Fitness 761-4220. 2 shops on the island to get gear from: Windsurf Inc and SoPadreIslandKiteboarding-both great folks....

Hi Eric et al, I have already tried the new '04 Cabrinha recon system and it and the new Co2 17m kite totally rock. The system enables a reverse launch similar to the Wpka Airblast w/out the bridle mess and the lack of control "feel" at the bar. It is a very clean and efficient safety/rela...

Hi Steve, et al. My computer sitch is hit and miss. Tried a reply a long time ago but it didn't work. If I were you Steve, I'd see a good physical therapist after your surgery and get a good personal trainer to work you through the rehab process prolong your recovery/rebuilding process as long as po...
