good wind on wed

Good winds ahead for Wed for some 'wind tunnel' spot where the water is warm and the tules grow..."ONSHORE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE MODERATE TO STRONG THROUGH WEDNESDAY."

Get it while it's good....Zeev. :P

Tuesday evening at SI was amazing! Nuclear wind, hard ebb, and roller coaster swell made for perfect boosting and faux wave riding. The full moon came up just as the sun went down and the last kiter came in at 9 pm. When everything comes together, this sport is absolutely transcendental.

Thanks to Mr. Z for the tip in the parking lot on Sunday night -- "Keep your hands closer together when boosting". Amazing how much smoother the jumps and landings are now!

Agggrrrhhh.... I don't have a kite smaller than a 12m now!!! The winds need to back off a bit. I haven't been to the beach in 2 weeks!!(Been having fun with the landboard in parking lots around Suisun. 3m foil and 20-30 knot winds!!)

Glad the tip helped....it's great when small input at the right time helps one have more fun....hearing a ton of stuff is no good, it needs to be served up just in time.

Dewey - Hello bro, how much is it worth to you to STOP missing sick sessions? step up and buy a smaller kite dude. I have a 10m/8m V4 kite for sale that will get the job way done. I'll make you a deal you can't refuse. ping me at zeevgur123@yahoo.com if you want more details.

Later, Z.

Nah...You want that RRD type 6 9 meter that I have for sale...Zeev hasn't been on his Naish kites for how long? ;^)

Hey Z - It sure helps to keep your hands wide on the bar when jumping.....as you loop it, that is....I am hoping to get out with my bud from the southland tomorrow at rio...

Bob - should'nt you be heads down trying to augment your team??? you don't have time to be posting to BB.....and since you mentioned it, the Naish V4 have very limited miles on them, and are sweet kites ;-)

For looping, just take that front hand off the bar all together, unless you are ready to unhook......ooooohhhhhhh.....

I'll see you guys on the river on thursday....are you guys going to be there for the sick dawn partol sesh?

Later, Z.

Sorry, we had to send in the B-Team this morning. ZH-16 from 7 'til 9 and pure buttah'-- bet you can't guess who owned the Tule Patch.

(Yup, da' bigga' one.)

Yeahhh, only because I wasn't there. Don't you know my Outrages are FAA approved?! But there's more, someone has some new Type Waves and has been throwing sick kiteloops with new tools and even landing a good % of 'em. What, maybe like 30+ of them in 3 days...Wait 'til I'm dialed in.... :-$

More details to follow..... Diversity is good.....

Wish I could be up there, though..... :(

I'll be there Thurs. after 5 again. Hoping for a repeat of Tuesday, but as long as I get in the water, I'll be happy.

Thanks Evan!!!..... Diversity is good, more details to follow.....
