Any interest in this?

Last year we had some guys from Pensacola visiting FWB say during a friendly discussion, "we don't use leashes anymore".

This was a year ago, so maybe the attitude has changed?

Where do you guys go in strong NW? I'm waiting for Sunday NW25-30.
Leeside can be really bad with anything W in it. As long as it doesn't go WNW, We'll be OK but marginal. DAMN! why can't we get a good N or NE?

BTW, Leeside has NEW sand! The state park people (from Pensacola )
set up a huge dredge and piped in a huge sand bar. Now we have a nice sandy spot almost as good as the Gulf side!

Hey TJ, if you make it to FWB Leeside park this weekend, look for the guy wearing a black helmet, I'll help you check rigging and get started.

Don't know who would have said that but the attitued has always been use a kite leash. Now maybe they said they don't use board leashes and this would be a true statement. All the local kiters who fly on Pensacola Beach have had and still have a great safety attitude. You might have had someone from Pensacola who rides in Perdido Beach or Johnsons Beach and then I don't know as that is a whole different group of guys??
