A First-Timer Guide to Winter Storms

I was not making fun of newbies with the Ocean Beach/novice post, I was making fun of people from LA.

Glad to hear it was a joke, I thought it bordered more on the sarcasm side of things. As I said it was pretty good one way or another =D>

I think it is very good people are reminding us about our limitations. Unfortunately in this sport mistakes are very costly.

I got out in a park with a 3m trainer kite and a cheapo mountain board. The grass is pretty thick and getting going was a challenge, only worked downwind, still pretty fun. Then the rain started pouring :-o

Dude, that Blowjoe is great! Believe or not, we've have several serious requests from our retailers to make a Joe that looks like a pair of hooters, but being the politically correct company that we are I really doubt this is going to happen.

Jeremie ripping on the Zen 129 Pro-model in Cumbuco - Go Joe notwithstanding!

Im glad you were being politically correct in your wording above because i misread the first part of that paragraph to mean something else. :)

Today was a fun but insane session at the Half Moon Bay Harbor. I got there at about 2 as Dave was coming in and everyone else was being blown off the water. I pumped up my 8 and went out and had a blast. the wind was 15-35 moh and when the squalls came thru it was almost whiteout conditions with blowing ran and sea spray over the sea wall. Definitely survival kiting. A few other guys came out a bit later and i think things mellowed out a little.
