cool Dom--what were you flying?

Yeah I was out yesterday in 15 gusting to 20. Too bad about the wind parallel to the beach but the kiteboarders were all pretty excited and are all re-scheduling their work week for 30 mph. I might have to re-work my schedule if it clocks from the east byt Thursday as is predicted....

Was flying my 10m psycho for a little while but it got a bit too much with the 30mph gusts, so i borrowed a friends 9m waroo which was just right! (i know i know, waroos...)

Hey matt! I'm just flying on the water at the moment! I might go try the airporty fieldy place soon but i'm pretty heavily into the water now :) Couple of photos my buddy brian took at the end of the session here: http://www.crainer.net/Crainer/Kiting/Pages/Seagate_10-28-20...
We were kiting at seagate on coney island.

All the concrete on the field there kinda puts me off as well!! Hope you've done some more riding since i've left!

its gettin cold back east. dom, i went back to pismo and had a sweet couple of days. i too tried an LEI and it was much faster and more responsive at lower winds than my 12.5m montana. i'm trying to trade it. i had some long runs and a couple of small jumps. it felt so good to put it all together.
