Winter: done, over, finito.
 
Now thats its done, whats yer recollection of the season- good, bad, indifferent?

The prior 2 or 3 week period was great but that aside pretty marginal year. Had some real draughts in there.

Personal highlights were landing first backrolls, downlooping kite and the last sessions at Club M. Also love from the DNA.

Here is what I think:

1. if the winter season is over I'd say we had a decent season with probably 3 to 4 windy days per week and 12m being the most used kite (at least for me)

2. waveriding is the new style

3. the hybrids are the new way to go

4. Spanish Wells and Surfers beach rock

5. a bunch of new guys joined us and a bunch more wants to start

6. Go-slow is "the spot" in NE

7. no accidents

On a personal note I'm pretty proud of my kite-loops, thanks to my new 12m Thruster !!

What do you guys think ??

Its my first season so i have nothing to compare it to, but here are my 2 cents.

We had preety good wind most of the winter about 3-4 rideable days like Matteo says.

I'd also say we had at least 7-10 days where it was nuking which was tons of fun

Club Med is i must say my favorite spot, I can only imagine it in 20 knts and big swell coming in, maybe a well placed hurricaine will bring us this perfect conditions who knows....
anyway this season i accomplished

A Herniate a Disc

Whiplash

Gouging my arm, to the point were looking back maybe i should have gotten stitches

And a broken Board

But overall im stoked that I finally was able to learn how to kiteboard and enjoy the sport, can't wait for next season or a summer trip to keep pushing my limits and learn new things.

I'm with you guys
 
for me i got to travel a bit and see more of the Bahamas.and ride at some of the prittyest beaches and water we have.
Nassau was awesome this season mainly riding a 12m and a 9m 4 to 5 days a week but spanish wells was the prittyest.
I will miss club med but I would rather remember it the way it was than try an go over there now.
teaching roby D and then him inspiring this old dog to get some new tricks down was rad.
some new guys came and some new guys left.(see ya Steve)
and no one me included got hurt there was some bruised egos "sorry Shuman"
the only bad thing is
#1 now my knees realy hurt and I'm going get the fixed after august.
#2 God I hope it's not over .
#3 God I hope it's not over .
we need a end of the season BBQ at Blue hill.

BBQ at blue hill is a great idea i think we should try and get it together....who would be down for maybe a nice relaxing sunday afternoon??? I'll bring the beer!!

If the BBQ is at BH we can torch the ramp and toast marshmellows on it.

how about this Sunday at Coral Harbour ?

dillette53 04-12-2007 09:22 PM

im getting back late sunday evening so this sunday wouldn't be so good for me

balloonboy 04-13-2007 01:30 PM

Sunday at CH could be great because its supposed to be rocking windwise from SSW (sorry Roberto).

balloonboy 04-17-2007 10:35 AM

Winter back by popular demand
 
Sunday was windier than advertised- 20kts at CH in advance of the front.

Monday was sweet at BB (Beach Bay near Delaporte). Low tide made for nice sandy launch and wind speed, (18 or so) direction and waves were very good. Gotta sail there more often. No Spring breakers like CB has, but neither dirty water, jet-ski ho-dads and nasty chop.
