Yes, I'm in Hatteras.

Jerry, I was at Anne's Beach on March 2nd. Did you see a girl with crutches? (that was me).

I just got back from the Keys last night, there was unusually great wind (9M) for 4.5 of the 9 days. We had an oceanfront house in Islamorada, just 2 miles from Anne's Beach. Unfortunately I didn't do any kiting because I sprained my ankle playing volleyball 3 weeks ago. I just started walking witho...

I'm heading to the Keys in March, planning to stay in Islamorada, and kite mostly Anne's Beach, but will also check out others. Here's some kite beaches in the keys: Islamorada: * Whale Harbor Marina, Upper Matecumbe (Islamorada)—MM 83.5--they charge $5-$10 to use site. Grassy area to rig, tight lau...

Terry,

I'm sorry to hear about the accident. I hope everyone learns from your mistake. It could have happened to anyone. You'll heal & ride the wind again, water is better than snow anyway.

In case you missed it Dec 5th, the Weather Channel show “Epic Conditions”, featuring Kiteboarding on Hatteras Island (and starring some of my co-workers, Sam Bell & Enily Vater) is on again tonight at 6pm & 10pm CST!!

Darlene

The Weather Channel does a show called “Epic Conditions”, they made a show here in Hatteras this summer about kiteboarding, it airs on December 5th (tonight!) & December 17th at 6pm & 10pm CST both nights. I got to preview the episode a few weeks ago, it’s awesome, don’t miss it!! Darlene 8)

I'll be there Monday, can't wait!

I too have both the Nitrous & Mystic (women's versions). If you buy a Mystic, buy it small, becuase it stretches out & is now riding up more than at first. The Nitrous have more back support, but it's hard to ride toe-side & probably impossible to ride blind, plus they ride up & give...

I'm so exicted to see everyone again! Dianne---Flat water is what I've always loved. I've only been in the ocean here 3-4 times. The ocean in South Padre is much friendlier. With side-on flat water available from all wind directions here, it's hard for me to choose the ocean. Yesterday & today h...

I still have room for 2 room-mates at La Quinta Nov 19th-22nd (4 nights). Nov 23rd-Dec 3rd is full. $30/night including tax. I get a bed!

Darlene

Looking for a room-mate for South Padre. I have a room reserved at La Quinta Nov 19th-Dec 3rd. I already have 1 room-mate Nov 23rd-Dec 3rd, but there's 3 beds including the pull-out sofa, so I'm open to having 2 room-mates. Your cost is $30/night including tax. E-mail me at darlene@landleasecommunit...

I'm going to Puerto Rico Aug 20-29, I'll let you know! I'm flying to Aquadilla & staying on the NW part of the island, not San Juan.

Darlene

Well first off I have to apologize to those who have e-mailed me & received no response :oops: . I have been extremely busy adjusting to & organizing my new life here (coach, kite, party, sleep, repeat). I finished my coaches training & am now teaching lessons & camps……and it’s hard ...

Yes Scott, why, are you still recovering from my party?

Darlene

You are invited to my Going-Away Party! As you might know, I am moving to Hatteras Island, North Carolina on March 17th. I am going to be a Kiteboarding instructor for Real Kiteboarding (see http://www.realkiteboarding.com). I would love to see everybody before I move! Date: Saturday, March 10th Tim...

Ok so winter kiting has redeemed itself, I'm ALMOST considering NOT moving to Hatteras! Sunday was my first time on a snowboard AND I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so much funner than skis!! Is anybody else having a hard time with things such as walking, getting out of bed, etc.?

Darlene

Thank you for the congratulations! :D I am excited to learn & help others experience this awesome sport! I can't wait to join the "Real Riding Girls", but I will always be a MN Kite Diva at heart! Hopefully I can make it back to Minnesota for a visit before the beer/manicure is distrib...
