Eric,

That's awesome. Exactly the type of ideas I was hoping to get... I was pretty nervous about how to get the boat close enough to the downwind kite. This is great.



Thanks,
Tom

Good stuff JRN. Instinct would have had me going for the kiter in the water first, but thinking it through, it probably is much smarter to collect the kite first. Seems like two people in the boat would be required to be fully "safe" as well (a driver and collector). Any other thoughts on ...

Hi All, Currious to know if there is any knowledge to share regarding using a ski boat to recover a kiter? A friend and I are working a launch on a lake that requires a boat to get to. The launch is good (shallows, good space, no traffic) but we're still working on staying up-wind on the board. This...

Hey Guys,

Did you go to Los Roques? I am living in Venezuela for my job currently - and I am trying to find some good places to kite.

Recommendations on Pousadas, Beaches, Kite Sizes and Costs are welcome! Los Roques or other beaches in Venezuela!


Saludos,

Things are going good! I'm settled into my hotel in Altamira. The people have been VERY freindlly and most helpful and understanding. I think I'm really going to enjoy my time here. This will be my first weekend in town - after that I hope to know much more about living here. I've been told that it'...

I'll be working in Caracas for the next 12 months and am looking for information on kiting.

Any information on destinations, rentals, or sources of information would be a great help!!!

SeaSpecs have a "Perscription SeaSpecs Click Here" link on their site.

I'm very interested.
Might arrange for my own flight if possible though.

Can't do the Kite Rodoe, wrong weekend for me!

Dates Tighe?

Anyone know where I could still find some ice to get out on on Saturday? Anyone else thinking about riding somewhere?

-Tom

Anyone ever kite in Cabarete? I'm looking for recommended places to go, stay, take lessons.

How about the same info for South Padre.

Anyone been to both, can you tell me which was better?



Thanks,
Tom

Right on. Thanks! I had poked around and didn't see ANYTHING on the site about renting a kite. Guess I'll just have to swing into the shop! ... Hope I don't end up buying a Kayak!!!

Where'd you guys see the info on renting a trainer? I'd like to know!! For myself, and for others. This is a great idea!


Thanks

Jim,

This is Tom, we kited a few days together this past summer at Mille Lacs. Hey - where do you work and what type of work is it? Not for myself, but I might have a friend who's interested. Feel free to reply to thomasjwilliams at hotmail dot com

Thanks!
TOM

TJ!
Have you been out snow kiting? Do you use the GTO for that? What time - and where do you plan to go on Sat?

sorry - double posted on accident.
