Bellaire?

It was pretty good at Bellaire around 11-1. 16m Turbo Diesel performed well. It's probably still good... The wind should blow easterly through the night and into tomorrow.

I would love to come play in the rain ... looks a bit warmer tomorrow too.

Hmmm SE/E. Ramsey could work for this but maybe I'll try Bellaire.

I'm thinking I'll go out anytime from 10 am - 2pm.

If you want someone to ride with call my cell 651.587.7360.

it was a blast

my first REAL run on the water was GREAT despite not having my 5th line the entire time (lull... kite fell.. rolled.. thank god for that handy grenade pin...). i did have to be driven back by a friendly WBL local, but it all worked out. tighe, that board is sweet. kiteboards > wakeboards. thanks for all the help, christian

Hi Tyson

I was impressed with your progress. The first time on water and very close to staying upwind was awesome. Hope you found your board. And rember to zip up your drysuit

. I would als get a helmet to protect your

.

Hope to see you soon again.

Enjoyed some nice E wind on the 12m TD at WBL today. The 3/2 wetsuit didn't cut it for too long though.

This was my first time in some big gusts with the kite. Felt great to dump the power off and keep moving. Transitions were also a blast! I tried jumping a bit and from now on my goal is to spend as little time riding on the water as possible.

I need to get a better board though ... everytime I jump my bindings come loose and I perform some weird leg dangling dance as I teabag the water.

Denis F. was ripping it up with his 16.5m and getting some huge air!

See you out next time Mike.

Tyson - where were you riding?

cheers,
