Ripley Rocks

Post by peterrib »

Grand session on Ripley today, 14m and on the edge of over power. And the water
is cold. Had a skin of ice on the pond nearby so it won't be long. You gotta love this!
Had a car chasing back & forth along the lake as I rode and when I landed they
pulled in to see what kind of Jet Ski I was pulling the kite around with :lol: . They seemed suprised :roll: when there was just me on a board!
Tomorrow Max and I meet up in Cancun :D and he has promised lots of cool places
to ride. Lots of pics to come!

Forgot to add I had my camera going last week when my 10m Blew.

That's a bummer with your 10M kite having the big blow out. What do you think caused it? It didn't look like you landed on the weeds for them to shred it.
The story about the guy thinking you were pulling your kite around with a jet ski is hilarious! Have a great time in Cancun and share some more video if you can.
I recently saw an awesome video done by LTD. Here's the link http://vimeo.com/31056991

Thanks Peter!

Guillermo is going to be here in Puerto M around 7:30am and after kiting he can give you a ride back to Cancun.

My Skype address is minneapolisss . Maybe it can help to have better communication while we are here.

See you soon!
