Why all the heat???

Post by John Lennon » Tue Sep 07, 2004 12:47 pm

This heat wave sucks. Great beach weather, but crappy kiting. C'mon, just a few more days of 12m wind...please.....or how about some nice big fat swells on the coast???

All we are saying, give wind a chance.

According to very reliable sources, there is wind now, and more on the way..... :lol:

Hey, when you guys swim in, do you wrap up your lines? What do you do w/your board when swimming?

Later, Z.

I wrap up my lines, disconnect lines from one side of the kite, leave about 4-6 feet slack, jam bar & lines through footstrap, and connect my leash to the bar end sticking through the footstrap. I then have a virtual flotilla of kite gear trailing behind me as I swim in. :?

Don't like to swim in too much tho'

Slacker! Don't be trying to get a free ride on my train! Don't you know I'm injured? I should be sitting on the bench! :P
