Whoa! Really gusty out there this morning!! Too much for my liking. I got yarded about 5 minutes into my session. Huge gust yanked me straight off a hard heelside edge, airborn, and then dragged about 35 yds before I could pull the eject button. Only took a second or two. Happened while I was up and...

French park is like 2 miles from my house, and Q is right down 169, so its a no-brainer. There's no way I'm driving clear across to WB on a work day morning.

See you saturday?

Planning for a 7am launch from French Park boat landing on the north end of Medicine. Civil twilight is at 7:17am. I think I'll be packed up (foil) and done to head to work by 9am.

(Provided the wind is up like forecasted)

See you there?

Looks like it might blow a little on monday and tuesday the 31st/1st. Is anyone with extra kites planning on being out riding somewhere?

Right on Dave. Bring it with to the next build day @ buck if you remember.

I fully understand the concept of the trainer kite not being able to pull me on my board. I thought that was the whole point of a trainer? So I dont kill myself...... I'm trying to cut thru all the marketing hype and get down to the nuts and bolts of what I ACTUALLY need to get started, not what som...

Interesting... Everything I read says to get a trainer first, practice on that for a while, then take a lesson to maximize ones lesson time, no? Are you suggesting I would be better off getting something like the Best 3 meter of NewTech 3.6 meter as a trainer? I read the NewTech 3.6 works as a train...

Any advice, yeh or nay, on this as the way to get started at the most basic level on my own?: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7169885921 Seems like a low cost/low risk investment to get going. Planning to start here and then move up to a larger foil in the winter when fully ed...
