I finally replaced my gear last november after it was stolen a couple years ago, so I didn't get out much last summer. This summer though, it's on! I get to padre twice a year and hopefully I won't miss a windy day here this year. I'll definitely bug Denis for a demo, I've never kited with boots, bu...

Anyone ever ridden a Nomad Kiteboard?

I have been riding a '08 SX136 for almost two years now. I just got back from Padre having not ridden for a year, but I still learned a few new tricks are really dialed in my unhooked riding and pop, I think my months of cross training dontributed a lot. I really like the SX, but I think it's time f...

I read a book on Buddhist meditation once. Practitioners talk of feeling one with everything, of being in the moment, in the now, with no consequences and no precursors, just the there of being there.

That's how I feel when I kite board. Everything else dissolves away.

I just got back from a week of riding in Padre. We had awesome wind and an awesome time! The locals are grading a new beach a few hundred yards south of Holly, it should be done end of this week sometime.

Left you a voicemail tighe. All the gear you sent along is at Larry's house and the people staying there know you're coming to pick it up. Give me a call and I'll give you the address.

Well, after a week of no wind and one day of great wind and too coldness, I'm heading home. This is the first time I've ever been skunked here in Padre. I'd stay another week, but it doesn't look much better the first half.

I hope you all have better luck than me! Have a great trip, cya in april!

No wind today either

Tomorrow looks a little better.

Got in around 11am today, got out to the water and... Nuthin. Not gusting up much past 9 mph... Forecast looks dismal until late wednesday or thursday.

Still, it's not freezing rain OR cold! Go Padre!!

Sounds fun! For those of you in the Cross training class, we'll have class tuesday the 11th at 8pm so everyone can get to the party.

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to say thanks. The Thursday class is 1 short of full, and it's entirely because of this forum and it's users. I'm opening a second class on Tuesday night from 8pm to 9pm, beginning October 14th. I hope that will work for those of you who couldn't make a thursday. Thanks guys!

Glad you all had fun!

Hey everyone, I'm teaching a watersports class for kiteboarders. We utilize trampoline, wire and bungee systems to practice air and board skills. This class will help you master on-the-water skills much faster than you could by kiting alone. Why? Because in the time you can attempt 5 back rolls on t...

Yeah I'll be there!

Thanks for the advice guys! Hopefully when I go to Padre this spring I'll be able to try some boards. I'll probably get the SX again, if it's similar to the one I was riding.

Any of you know anything about the Nobile 555?

Thanks again.

So yeah, all my gear was stolen from my garage 18 months ago, and I'm finally shopping for replacements, and I'd like some advice on boards. I've pretty much decided on getting into some Cabrinha Xbow 2s, but boards are a little harder to decide. I've mostly ridden Cabrinha kites since I started rid...

Some time in the last 3 weeks (just discovered the loss) all of my kiting gear was stolen from my garage, along with some power tools and hand tools. What was stolen: 2004 Cabrinha 12m Nitro Yellow 2004 Cabrinha 17m Nitro Orange White Cabrinha 5.5 Surf board Black Slingshot 136 board with red "...

Anyone going anywhere thrusday or friday? Looks like a good forcast for almost everywhere. Some buddies and I are talking about making a day trip to Millacs and riding the side shore at Reddy.

Anyone got any suggestions?

If the forcast holds I'm deffinately hitting Millacs on Sunday, probably around 11am. It's a south wind, so I'll probably go Reddy Creek.

PS: Just noticed I'm in your pictures!! Sweet!
