Wishing we were already there! We will not arrive till Early Fri morn, more than likely when everyone else is still asleep! We are leaving Thursday round 4, its a 12-13 hour drive! We will be ready to sleep in the truck I'm sure. If we get out any earlier, I will let you know!

Till we get there, I send the best winds to all of you, just save some for us!:wee:

lol definatly had some fun nights. I'm starting get fit after being married ;)

Havnt done much kiting though. I was able to take out the 19 and dang it has some awesome hangtime. I got wicked sun burned so I took the day off and sat in the shade and watched the fools wind taunt us all day. I'm ready to do some freestyle if the wind will turn on shore. Besides the crap wind and the gnarly sunburn I've been able to have fun with everybody. Lots of nice guys down here.

Todd - 18-5-2011 at 05:36 PM

I'll be there most likely around 4am Friday... where are you staying :evil:

mougl - 18-5-2011 at 05:40 PM

At the microtel room 420 :P

shehatesmyhobbies - 18-5-2011 at 05:59 PM

Sunburn already! Dang Adam! I will be right there with you! I will actually use suntan lotion this time around! I hate that stuff! See you guys soon!

tridude - 18-5-2011 at 06:36 PM

Just climb upwind to the shipwreck, then light the fuse to go back to kite beach! 15 phannys should be happy in that. 18 for those with kiwis.

tridude - 18-5-2011 at 07:00 PM

yep ikitesurf concurs...................hopefully Saturday will come in as well....................................

that should make for a nice Go Pro vid with all the arcs headed down and back..........perfect conditions for my 13m P3 or 12m P2, of course Ill have to turn my camera around backwards on my helmet.............:thumbup::thumbup:

shehatesmyhobbies - 18-5-2011 at 07:06 PM

Tri, can I just pick that up local down there?

Chris thanks for leaving the lights on! I am sure we will find you guys!

Danny see you in the morning, have a safe trip!

Adam! I hope you are resting! NOOOTTTT!

Angus, can't wait to meet you! Thanks for the great forecast! Should be stellar! Plans on getting some great runs in so 18m phanny or 16m venom will be my kite of choice!

The rest of you ..... SEE YOU SOON!

flyjump - 18-5-2011 at 07:10 PM

10 knots :( I want some air time. Oh well. That'll at least be good wind to teach people to landboard with.......and yes use sunscreen. I fried my legs on Tuesday so all day today I was miserable. Wearing long pants to the beach rest of the week. I took out a blokart today for The first time. That was fun in the really low winds. Everybody pray for 15mph winds. That would be perfect

shehatesmyhobbies - 18-5-2011 at 07:43 PM

That would be great! Glad you got to try a blokart, they are a blast! Only been on one a couple of times myself! Like having the power in my finger tips that a kite gives me!

acampbell - 19-5-2011 at 04:02 AM

Adam if the island heats up then the seabreeze should amplify the forecast wind. You should get your air.

tridude - 19-5-2011 at 06:43 AM

T minus 24..........................20 minute radiation procedure @ 0800, on the road with nfleech by 0900..............:thumbup::thumbup::lol::lol::duh::duh:

mougl - 19-5-2011 at 05:38 PM

Fly got a little board time today, spent most of his time helping others cultivate their skills. Very selfless! Saw him throw a couple nice 360s and 1 footers. Can't wait to ride with ya tomorrow man!

Going to make Fransheska earn her shipwreck run the hard way tomorrow :wink:

Drewculous - 19-5-2011 at 07:15 PM

Very epic day! Made the shipwreck run 4ish times lol.... Did my first downloops on the bug, even smoked angus for like five mins :lol:

I can honestly say this is like the coolest place on earth... I have fallen hard for this little island.... If I can make it sooner I will, but if not, def gonna retire here... The wife is on board for it too, yay!

Thanks again go out to Angus for all of his hard work on this, thanks for his deals, his help, everything! Thanks man! (let me know how much I owe ya for everything btw.... Sleeves, splash guard.... Etc... )

Thanks everyone that helped me out since I got here.... Never been around such a great, and diverse group of peeps!

Can't wait for the rest of ya to get here!

flyjump - 19-5-2011 at 07:20 PM

Wind was better today :) supposed to be a little stronger tomorrow.I was able to teach a little today, and even do a little of my own freestyle towards the end. Gotta love the chargers:eekdrull: tomorrow will be more lessons and I'll do some freestyle demos too. Gotta love sea breezes and a big beach
