I'm in. Maybe we could set a date once we find someone willing to teach. Definitely for compensation(Hope I didnt imply I was looking for a freebie) We don't really need much wind-and other people actually riding would be a distraction in this case. Also it will give us something to do other than sitting on the computer talking about kiteboarding! Wendy would be in too, and I can pass the idea along to the other guys down here .Next s
tep is to find an instructor. |

I am in too. Although I have gotten back in a few times, I would like to see the current agreed upon method.
When it's just me I am pretty apt to wing it and pray. But, I might end up talking someone else through the steps in the future (off P.A.G. beach for instance) as I remain just upwind of them, and don't want to give wrong advice. I would hate to wing it with Donna or someone else and have it turn into a "wing it and pay" scenario due to my ignorance. |

It's too bad the wind is not more predictable. It makes it a bit more tricky to set in stone a date for stuff like self rescue and safety system lookovers.
I am definitely in for some self rescue tutoring though the next weekend that looks decent. |

That'll work. I would just like some real wind to make it realistic for a strong wind rescue. Hopefully it'll happen.

I'm not sure who said it earlier on here, but every situation is different. However, I was never taught any self rescue techniques and have had to rescue myself 3 times, i'm here so i guess you can say i'm a quick learner:
1) Wind died 2) My middle lines snaped 3) my harness broke on one side It is true that each situation is different, luckily I was not to far from shore. however, I would love to hear some techniques like how to use your kite to tow yourself back in. Safety clinic, not a bad idea |

Just wondering if we can get a count of people interested in a self rescue clinic the weekend of the 6th of october(saturday afternoon at EB?) I will be happy to try and organize it if no one else wants to. Maybe do it as a demo/clinic and eat/drink afterwards?
