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.

Need a lil info about milly
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...

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.
I remember last year I was on WBL from 9am to 4pm in -30 wind chill. Tighe saw me out there a bit under dressed and gave me warmers for my boots and gloves. I will be ready for this year with these two products. http://www.cabelas.com/spodw-1/0005479.shtml http://www.gerbing.com/heat/glovesg3.html I...
