Re: wind wisdom?

Seems like we live in a world of information overload these days. The problem with that is that we can get conditioned to always need to know everything, to try to always be in control, which heightens our dissapointment when things dont go the way we want and leads to an expectation of immediate gr...

Re: Anyone seen a kiteboard toy, yet?

Randy, My wife and I laughed while reading about da kid working on his kitespeak. "Aw, how cute" she says. Dont tell anyone but I had to agree. There must be a gene that causes someone to want to get airborne. I remember too when I was a kid making some kind of kite/wing/sail/flying thingy...

Gonna have to try something a little more modern one of these times :roll: I agree that more wind isnt necessarily better for going fast.

Re: More Big Wednesday photos (and stories) please

Randy, that your grand daughter was born into a family with a history of wind addiction during a raging gale is profoundly karmic. Would anyone be suprised if she grows up to have the wind in her blood? Congrats!! I ventured down to Worthington, I figured at least if I was going to get my ass handed...
