Talking 3 Rooker Air Show last Saturday

Great day at 3 Rooker with Gabe, Chad, Craig, and Tammy! The winds were nuking all day and the smallest kite I had was my 9m. The winds were blowing 45 to 50mph. All I can say is Gabe can boost!

Gabe BOOSTING!









Me in the background. This pic does not depict the height of this jump that well. All I know is it was high!

great shots Chris. That was a silly day. Thanks again to you guys for the escort across the channel. That ride was as wild as the kiting was. Look forward to the next one. Craig

We could tell you, but we would have to kill you.

Default Epic!

Nice pics! That day was amazing! 3 Rooker looked pretty sick with the butter flats on the leeward side of the island. Mike, Sam, Josh and I did an awesome downwinder from EB to Caddy's. Boosting higher than we have ever been! I could see almost all of Tampa Bay from the lifeguard stands at North Beach! We rode through the back side of Shell and had some nice flats on the downwind side of the island. The waves were great around Sunset. Definitely a day I will never forget. I can still hear the people screaming on the beach as we boosted through 40+ gusts!

3 Rooker is located somewhere between PAG and Brooksville. Its a hidden gem that a lot of people know of but not very accessible and a long commute for others.

Tammy did a great job taking those pics. The Olympus 1030 SW is amazing. If you're a kitesurfer you need to have one of these camera's. http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_se...p?product=1363

Chris, I can not see the photo you posted of the white Knuckle ride. It shows up as a red X.
