35-36 and your being PULLED on a 9?

Yeah, worked at EB and issues getting the kite relaunched being blown downwind in the deep waters off to the right of the beach...Dan helped me get my board back after I swam and got the kite to relaunch, then I rode a bit and was working my way upwind only to bite it a second time and get worked. By the time I was back up, I was back where I started due to the strong current and I decided to drag upwind. Thanks for riding over and encouraging me to drag in to land the kite with Dan, Bryan! I bet I'd still be making my way upwind if you hadn't!!! Tough day on the water for my fat @ss but learned some lessons so all was not lost!

Yeah that guy in the white pickup also yelled at Jayson one day when he was launching me on my 25.5M Machine and the kite brushed up against his truck briefly. I think Jay laughed at him. This guy seems not to like kitesurfing yet insists on parking right up near the beach while he goes in for his daily derriere debriefing in his posh mangrove office...

EDIT: Just checked the slingshot site... that kites only supposed to go to 30 knots with a 175lb rider... It was easy to hold down in the water, but if I lost my board or came ashore it was just being a bitch for the most part.

Back to the old Forum?
 

Hey guys,

everybody seems to be here now. Why don't you go back to the old forum? It was way better organized and not so confusing....just curious...

I'm glad everybody had a great time with Alberto, I'm sure there are more to come.

Have a great day,

MissChriss

I just thought I'd share this from yesterday :D

Nice...
 

Beautiful shot...were was it taken? I just got myself an underwater case, so I'll be out there shooting as well in the future ;)

I took it at EB yesterday.

So, exactly, how bad was Alberto to you guys. Us northerners have no concept. Was it just a big media frenzy over a heavy rainfall?

yep, big frenzy

canes come in diff flavors, this one was mostly a lil wind

others are all wind or all rain or both


THE BIG ONE's still out there...................

I know what you're saying Kev, I think it's around 35knot on my 9m and I am very uncomfortable (unable to stand still, even when sitting) when on land. Whatever it was at the first boardercross... that was above my limit for a 9m.
