Feed The Wind Gods!
THAT'S IT! I'm Outta Here! starting today until somebody around here appeases those who make the wind crank, I'm leavin'! ( at least for two weeks ) Next time you guys hear from me will be from the Gorge where I'll be on my 9m kite everyday. Don't worry , I'll send some pics back to try to motivate the wind gods to make a visit here too. In the meantime, a sacrificial board or kite may be in order. :D |
Sounds like you are going to be the sacrifice!
The more you spend on your trip the more wind we will get. |
Geez, rub it in Raul!!! I'm stuck going to a family reunion in Waves, NC leaving on Friday for 10 days. Why ya gotta make us all jealous???
|
Got into HR central@ 8pm , still some kites on the water.
Looking good next few days.................. http://www.wind-surf.net/cgi-shl/05-...-forecast.pl?5 The sacrifices are working.... :D :D :D :D |
picked up the custom boards this morning and they are SWEEET!
10min to noon and there are already quite a few kites on the water , time to try the new sticks out! http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...ash_Trifin.jpg Lori's Ride http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s_new_ride.jpg 5'6" Round Squash tail tri Mine looks nice too |
Well, Thurs, Fri and were windy. Our new tri fins rock! Today Sat was easily 9m and 7m kites on call for the sess.
It is so much fun going off on these swells and then turning toeside on them as you crank turn after turn. Quads are for slashing , these Tri's carve awesome! http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...0/DSC00050.jpg There is still plenty wind out there after we got done today! Maybe a coast trip in the future as well |
The secret to wave-riding nirvana..................
SWEEEEEET! |
Where are you riding?
Back in my windsurfing days it seemed like Doug's Beach(WA side) had some of the better, bigger swells. Also spots further east. Where does everyone kite there? The pop you get off some of those swells must be unreal because I remember them almost getting vertical - you probably don't even need to send the kite to get huge air. Some of the launches must be really sketchy - I remember slipping down the rocks at the Hatchery while all the pros and photogs were there - priceless!
I'm so jealous because my 2 week vacation starts tomorrow but it's in Cleveland. Hopefully Lake Erie comes through for me! |
Had a great session on the sound today after 3 days on the ocean side riding waves. Rode with Morgan Skipperdene today, she was sporting her new board off trick and was a cool person to meet. Definite good vibes up here in Waves, NC at Hatteras Island Sail Shop, Barton and Rider are always very cool and offer up their compressor and their launch to rig and ride... Definite good times, learned a new grab and everyone is super cool with TONS of riding space here. I am definitely lucky that my annual family reunion is here in OBX!!! Glad to hear the wind is nice up there in Oregon too Raul and Lori!

Yeah Hatteras has been great. Wind every day. I am so sore. Not used to riding this many days in a row.
