Re: Padding is awesome

I must add, I am forcing myself not to take any napps for the next few hours to be safe. I did hit hard. I made a rookie mistake and let the kite get too far to the edge of the window and stalled mid flight. Please wear your protective gear. :D

I have kited for 4-5 years now on snow and land but I want to go try milly water kiting. I have a 12m x-bow and a 135 Best balsa. I'm just wondering if I head up in week or so, could someone teach me some body drag technique and self rescue.

The coolest thing for off season boarders

I love the whole feel of a board vs. ski. A boards fluid movement in a carve is the best. I snowboard, mountain, and kite when ever I can. But I always wished there was a way to have that constant feel threw town or down a street; with out a skate board which take a lot of work to keep moving. I hav...

photobucket.com is a good spot to do it. After you load your stuff on it. It will give you an option for codes. There is a code for message blogs, and myspace, for example... When you copy and paste the code in the message we don't see the code we see the pic.

I just ordered a set of Flow step-in's. Steve B. showed me his and I fell in love with them. Most of the snowkite boards are ok to use downhill. Nobile has a vid that states this about there board particularly.

Getting ready for snow.

One thing I noticed with Tighe's lessons. He make mention of the fact that people break every rule of kiting do's and dont's when a camera is on them. We all want to show boat past our limits when we see a camera. I am sure the pressure to produce usable footage is more so. All so we could have a gr...
