LOL!!! I do have to say that I am interested in seeing them but don't want them on my board!!! Sounds like a cool idea, just not for me... LOL!!!

Hey,

It's GOT to be better than Bob's approach of dangling a glo-stick right where his dangly is!! :o

my 2cents
keep that stuff up on the kites
imo it can worsen your night vision.
peace

I keep it on my harness bar... so people can see me (so we don't collide on the water) and so they can find me when I end up hurt somewhere in the dark. Also so I can see the quick release, and the hook when I am trying to hook or unhook. Also, so when they come in to land, they know I am another rider willing to catch their kite, not just some guy walking the beach at night.

I don't think lights on kites help much... they aren't bright enough, and they are usually hidden by the canopy anyway.

thanx for the idea....
i high intensity LED light connected to the fifth line about 10-15ft from the kite, this should be enough to light up the kite.... man this could be fun....

Toby, I'm off work and ready to ride... Going to run some errands and loook at the forecast... Flags in Lakeland were blowing east, down in South Tampa, NNW...?!?!??

so, I'm seriously in need of advice on where to ride come 5 pm...

Today is a real hard one to predict.
I think it will slowly shift NNE by 6 or 7 though, fill in, and then go more NE by 9pm (straight off of accuweather's forecast) :)

Not if you fear sharks.
