It looks like this update will allow posts from windows mobile internet explorer smart phone browser. I could not post on previous version. 99% of my browsing is from my phone. Always hated having to fire up my laptop to make a post. I hope the formating shrinks the font size down so I can fit more ...

Tighe, Thanks for putting this together. My six year old had a blast with a 2-meter kite until the wind dropped just a bit. After that, he became quickly frustrated and his attention span waned. Thanks again for borrowing me one of your 3-meter kites, it really made all the difference. While my son ...

Nice! I arrived just as you guys were wrapping up. yet I was able to sneak in as an extra for a few frames. (7:31-7:39). I echo JRN in that you did not capture my ugly bow-tie event.

Katie,
I have an older model Dakine fusion that you are welcome to use until you find something you like. You will need to find a spreader bar to complete the setup.

I believe it is a size medium and red, gray and black in color in case you are color coordinating.

As long as we are discussing upcoming events, has anybody seen heard about or considered going to the following?

2008 Powder Mountain SuperFly Open
February 8 - 10 , 2008

I was killing some time this afternoon playing microsoft live search maps and came across this:

zoom in to street level and then select bird's eye view.

I love the idea. I'll be there.

Randy: I'd love to borrow your video. any help i can get. I have one video that came with my foil. "the way to fly" by Kittyhawk kites. Mike: SPI would be great, but it is not going to happen for me any time soon. Baby at home and my wife hates to fly. I've got some decent flying time unde...

Hey Randy, Good to here from you. I just asked my brother how you were doing last week. He did not know you had started kiting; Glad you did. With your boarding skills, you should be ripping in no time. You are correct in that I intended to use Ed's beach as a launch. but given yours and others reco...

Thanks Chris. your warnings about are well taken and much of the reason i believe this sport is less accesable. I have a small advantage on WBL in that I have relatives and friends on the lake that will allow me to use thier beaches as private launch sites providing the wind is correct. If the water...

Realistically I'll just be a weekend cruiser although I have dreams of much more. I suspect most of my riding will be on WBL. provided I can find enough newbie leeway to launch and land. I imagine for me that water kiting will be must less acccesable the snow kiting. Not only due to beach congestion...

I agree, this is a great event. I've only missed it once in the last 16 years.
There is a great Canoe/kayak auction on Saturday Morning as well that draws quite a crowd.

Thanks everyone for your input. At least I know i'm in the ballpark a couple of more questions if i may. 1. What would you estimate our typical kiting wind range to be: 8-20, 12-25, 15-30... from my years of scow sailing on WBL i would estimate 8-20 2. At what minimum wind speed do you realistically...

Contact Tim Elverston at Windfire Designs. He fixed my Foil in 1 day and I had it back before the next weekend. Awsome repair job and low cost. usually a 4 day turn around but he'll do it faster if you tell him it is a rush Phone: 352 219 4269 WindFire Designs 1319 NW 7th AVE Gainesville, FL 32603 h...

I started kiting last winter on a foil and now want to continue this thrill into the warmer months. At this time and can only swing 1 kite and 1 board and am considering only bows/hybrids. So basically a 1 kite quiver for my 175Lbs in the majority of conditions we have locally. I have no experience ...

I was wondering the same thing yesterday, but since I have no other ride I went for it despite apprehension. I used a pair of Fisher Big Stix mid-fats 175CM, and found them quite difficult in the heavy snow and deep ruts at Bellaire. The ride was OK once I got up to speed and could blaze over the to...

Anyone planning on hitting White Bear this afternoon?
I will try to get a ride in starting around 2:30-3:00. Ramsey is favored at the moment, but Bellaire will be nice if the wind shifts east as expected.

I'll join the "loser" crowd not able to make the crossing. Family commitments prevent me from joining in the fun. My lovely bride has been gracious enough to let me out of the house every day this winter that it has been blowing for a few hours to "clean my garage". but whole day...

tysonm,

that did the trick. Thanks.
