Thanks Randy and Peter!

Peter, I know you know the area and it's very cool that you like to kite in Mayan waters... One of best scenic kiting destinations. Enjoy your trip in Nov.

Gracias amigos!

Max

Peter, since my son's b-day is in Nov and this year we want to celebrate it in Mexico, we booked the flights this morning to make it happen. We are going to be in the area from 12-23 of Nov. Please let me know if our dates match yours. It would be very cool if we can share a session in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum or Puerto Morelos.

My cell is 763-381-9826 or email minneapolisss@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Max,
We arrive on the 13th and stay through the 20th. Be looking forward to a 1st Class Tour of your hot spots.
Definitely want to kite Isa Blanca and hit the surf. Should still be good for wind. We stay at the Melia. Probably
rent a car this trip and avoid the cabby hassel trying to get to and from Isla Blanca.

Awesome! What a coincidence about the dates. You just earned a first row ticket for kiting in nice spots in La Riviera Maya. Always is good to have a car in that area. Let's keep in touch, have a nice day.

Sweet video Max! Steady wind, warm water and air... doesn't get much better.
Our family has went down to Akumal Mexico for several years which is 1.5 hrs south of Cancun and 20 min. N or Tulum. Some of the best snorkeling in world there in Akumal bay. So many other cool things to do too like go to the Cenotes, tour caves,...

Here is one of my favorite pictures of me kiting because it has my kids in it having fun boogie boarding while I was out having a blast in the swell kiting. We were down in Tulum. If your thinking of a trip down there I can share a lot more info but Marco at extreme control is a place to kiteboard (http://www.extremecontrol.net/). We stay in akumal at http://www.lasvillasakumal.com - near great snorkeling. No worries about sickness down there.

Thanks for sharing the picture Kevin! From Cancun to Belize every town is magical...

I lived 1 full year in this area and now every time that I go back I discover something new. During the trip in Nov., a good friend, a local kiter and a doctor (flexible schedule) is going to bring me where the waves and flats meets... he says this place is amazing! Two worlds of fun. Defenily I am going to bring the Gopro camera with us.

Peter, you are coming with us! Be ready!

Kevin, join us, we are going back to this area in March and the end of May.

Max,
This trip just took on a whole new feeling. Can't wait. Stay in touch.
I'll be warming up for it at Jupiter Beach, Fl a couple weeks prior and should
have my sea legs.
