Checked the forecast... tomorrow, thursday, and from sunday out all show high teens wind, sun and temps in the 70's... water temp is in 70's, too...


who is going kitesurfing, and when and where????

Txshooter38 - 12-4-2011 at 06:47 PM

I am going to try to get out this weekend.....Boerne lake for a test run with the new Flysurfer and Slingshot board!

dylanj423 - 12-4-2011 at 07:19 PM

ha... dont be surprised if my mom comes and says hello... hows the launch/ land / wind shadow at that spot??

i was a novice last time i was in the area, but seemed to be roomy enough...

Txshooter38 - 12-4-2011 at 07:57 PM

That is the only real problem......area. The lake is not wind shadowed and free of power boats. I took wind speeds and they are pretty non-gusty given being in the middle of the Hill Country. I really need SE winds to be ideal....but it is only 30 min from the house which makes me want to make it work. Landing and take off areas are tight but I think it will be ok. I really want to go to the coast...Port A. or Galveston....it is just hard to get out for the whole weekend.

Man .. you're making it hard for me to leave TX and head to NJ for the Wildwood event!!! I hope the wind holds when I come back. I've been itching to hit the water.

Hi, do you still have a rollersurfer. If not do you think the buyer
would sell? Michael (mctutt@gmail.com)

Looks like the wind is carrying on into next week as well.

I can't go kiteing today, but the weather man says "East winds 10 to 15 mph in the morning becoming southeast and increasing to 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon. "

dylanj423 - 17-4-2011 at 05:14 AM

yah... this afternoon looks killer... hopefully i will feel better by then... think kitesurfing with a cold would be a bad idea???? 'cause im seriously considering it

Taper123 - 17-4-2011 at 07:11 PM

Come join us next weekend... We'll be by "stonehenge" on the other side of SLP. I pland on doing some bugg'n and kiteboarding.

dylanj423 - 17-4-2011 at 07:18 PM

if work permits.... just started a new job and not sure whats going to be happening...

looks like the whole week is going to be good, actually

Taper123 - 18-4-2011 at 05:59 AM

I'm trying to get away this afternoon and go to the Levee. Always less of a crowd on the weekdays.

dylanj423 - 18-4-2011 at 06:07 AM

hmmm... im still not feeling well enough to surf yet or i might join you... dang cold... have fun... last time i went there, i felt real comfy in my 1mm wetsuit... those without seemed a little frigid..

Taper123 - 18-4-2011 at 11:40 AM

Not going to be able to make it today... but hoping to take the buggy/board to the beach tomorrow instead. Hope ya get to feeling better soon so ya can hit the water/beach.

Taper123 - 10-5-2011 at 07:54 PM

Still windy... 15-20 dead onshore tomorrow 5/11 Been a great spring when it comes to wind. No rain.. But wind.

Have a CrazyFly and a new fishing reel to try out. Lotsa surf... talk about a perfect combination to try out new toys.

dylanj423 - 11-5-2011 at 02:49 AM

im headed down to the state park for a sunrise session :)

looks like yet another good day

Taper123 - 18-5-2011 at 11:55 AM

More wind this week. Blowing 15-20 next few days, dead onshore. Excellant setup for water or land. Thinking of hitting the levee tomorrow and the beach for the weekend. Graet for kites... and my new reel needs a bull redfish to test it out (and fish tacos are always great after a day of kiting).
