Hey yall, i think it can be done if we all band together, im willing to do the brunt of the work in making a floating slider(a kicker is kinda way hard), for sherman, but there are many things missing. If anyone is interested post up and if we get all of the requirements filled i think we can actually make this a reality.
We can build the kicker and just leave it at the kite launch at sherman, we're probably going to need a boat to tow it out and anchor it, when its being used. Thats one the things we're going to need, a boat.
We'll also need a truck to transport the kicker to sherman.
As far as matierals and labor go, im willing to do just about anything as long as i know im not crazy and doing this for no reason at all.
crazy idea or what?

Guest,
Those bouys were put out by Nat Lincoln of who runs a school at sherman when the season is on there. I helped him pull them up at the end of the season. I think as soon as he gets back he will put them back out. I believe that they are in the possesion of the camp host (Indian Bob?), if you had a boat you could put them out if you wanted.
I like the bouys too they keep people away from the beach.
Thanks,
Blair

slider
Bad idea @ the delta for the following reasons:
1. Massive tide shifts each day
2. Big winds and tides wash everything away
3. Area gets crowded when the wind is on. Having sliders/kickers would only create more congestion and create more reason to ban kites.
4. The need for a boat to take it/out is a pain.
5. Finally, there are 100's of natural features: tules, sand spits, logs, tules, slicks, tidal standing waves.....etc.
Good winds + waves, Zeev.
