What dose this look like?

Hot dang, just my luck, I think I know the black and white Turbo 3 guy too. Is it an eleven meter kite?

When I first met these two guys, if they are the same ones, they were lucky that me and Max (Barrett) were rigging because they were about to launch the first time without any formal training. They were riding older kites at that time. We gave them a small tutorial and were safely able to to ride their first launch.

The kite that you posted from the kitewindsurf camera is a Link.

Update from my message above:

Turns out that the kiters mentioned above are different kiters, we don't know who they are. Our friend who rides a gray and white turbo diesel 3 11, spoke to the paramedics and told them he was not the guy they were looking for, I guess somebody pointed him out as a suspect and he had to clear his name.

I wont directly say what size it was but it did sound like alavan.

Busted! Hey Yuri if they let that get away a little farther you could have a new kite in your quiver when it ended up on your balcony.

Fog is duking it out with offshore flow from the valley and the fog is losing. NE flow is supposed to die off sometime today, though.

I'd say it's going to get pretty smokey in the Bay -- you've got SW flow blowing the smoke up from the fires down south and NE flow blowing the smoke down from the fires in Chico. This morning's sunrise looked like Apocalypse Now here.
