If I may....did you take lessons or was that your first one! Why Cypress on an offshore wind? Some lessons are learned the hard way and can be expensive when you go it alone...

Good luck finding your gear.

TwnTrbo15...

Have you taken lessons?

If so, you probably should take more.

If not, you got lucky.

take a read on this..little accident from this weekend..
http://www.nwkite.com/forums/t-4680.html

head first into a tree stump..unconscious, convulsions...

sounds like a blast.

sorry if i am coming across like a prick, but it was offshore winds near our busiest freeways.. why the hell would you do such a thing?

I am glad you are safe, never would wish an accident on anyone in the world (well maybe a couple people.. hehe).. but you have got to understand the nature of this sport and that it can seriously injure you or others around you.

did you find you kite?

"I don't need lessons. I can surf and skateboard so I can pick it up by myself."

Famous last words.

My suspense is now turning to worry.....

I'm calling the Coast Guard......

****ALL POINTS BULLETIN*****
MISSING BOATER SEARCH
SEARCH RADIUS- 380 NAUTICAL MILES
Be on the lookout for one missing kiter, a missing Jet Ski (brand unknown), and a 12m Monkey kite with bar and lines attached. The only clue to this mystery is a small puppy found at Cypress beach,lovingly waiting for its owners return, attached to a tree with an odd looking ,bungee-type LEASH. Onlookers at the scene reported a runaway kite heading towards the freeway,but before the frantic victim launched the jet ski to recover the kite, he pulled the drain plug ,drained the gas out and removed his life vest. Friends and family have not heard from him since......
Any information on his whereabouts should be reported directly to authorities.

It seems like we are not going to get an update from TwnTrb15 perhaps someboady should give him a call. That Monkey could be hiding in the mangroves!
