Re: WHATS THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT WINTER KITING?
I agree. I also like being able to easily launch and land your kite far away from trees without the assistance of another kiter.

Spinning off kickers unhooked in super light winds! 

Re: WHATS THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT WINTER KITING?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Or more on topic,
To crush the wind lips on the hills, to see only your fresh tracks before you, and to hear the lamentation of the warm weather kiters.
And of course -
gliding off of hills,
wind lips and drifts,
and not having to pump up an inflatable.
There is just nothing to complain about when snow kiting except living in your truck in walmart parking lots where ever the snow invites you.

Going fast and watching Jerry run into his fellow wind enthusiasts (no one was hurt). Sorry Jerry, couldn't resist. 

Re: WHATS THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT WINTER KITING?
I heard Jerry's ego was bruised 

Re: WHATS THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT WINTER KITING?
No Weeds! Hope we get some decent snow this year!
Re: WHATS THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT WINTER KITING?
Riding in the dark looking up at the stars beyond your kite, or the kite casting a shadow over you in the moonlight.
Re: WHATS THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT WINTER KITING?
Jerry does not have an ego; it would never fit in his car! Sorry again Jerry but Kiteboy tossed up the big giant softball and I had to hit it.

I have feelings.............................right now I'm feeling kind of hungry.

Other than being stoked to sail with Jerry at any time possible?...
- Watching all of the others skid across the rock solid trenches we cut in the pow on freshies.
- Feeling that morning sun warm your cheek (not ass cheek) in the morning when you are setting up... anticipating the first ride of the day.
Gotta get out there early. It's all good in the winter, just be cautious early and late.
Hope to see you guys out there this year. Paddleboard season is coming to a close rapidly.
TOO MUCH WIND! MAKE IT STOP! heh if Kirk D heard me say that he'd kill me.
