Winds were light enough to convince my wife to give the skis a try with a kite. She cruised some downwinders with a NPW9 3.4m - I got some good
exercise bringing her back. Then late in the day it clicked and she was going across the wind and made it back from where she started. It won't be
difficult to convince her that I "need" to go out to the lake to go kiting anymore.

Don't worry, it actually only tires her out and then she won't do other things.
lol. Although, yea, serisouly. Tis pretty cool. Hopefully she'll start to realize that you need more kites and will start letting you buy tons!SecondWind - 29-12-2007 at 08:29 PM
Way to go - That's great!Taper123 - 29-12-2007 at 09:09 PM
ever since I got the wife to hitch a ride in a buggy... she's been hooked. Sometimes she flies, sometimes she does'nt. I'm just glad she wants to
go :DGeorge56 - 30-12-2007 at 06:17 AM
My wife has been kiting with me right from the start. She is the driving force behind our windsurfing. We always go out together and have a lot of
fun. It is nice because you always have someone to go with. She is actually better than me at both kite skiing and windsurfing.
It is good to see that your wife is enjoying snow kiting. Make sure you let her try a harness and a good depower kite soon.
Have a good day,

Well the wife is 6 months pregnant and still wants to kite...
Attached is a pic of her cruising with a 2.5m Jojo instinct. She was conservative and the 1.5 first - not enough power to stay upwind easily. The
funny part was seeing some cannon beach sand come out onto the snow. The last time she used the 1.5 was in the buggy at Cannon Beach.

Cannon Beach sand on the snow... And to think how this week, Cannon Beach was covered in snow...smilePrairieWind - 28-12-2008 at 11:34 PM
The circle of life,... the sand on the snow and the snow on the sand...WolfWolfee - 11-1-2009 at 06:32 AM
Hey PrairieWind you going to make the kite festival February 7-8, 2009 everyone liked to meet up with you. Hope to see you.PrairieWind - 11-1-2009 at 09:12 AM
It's highly unlikely that I'll make it up there. A 6 hour drive is hard to justify when there are great conditions within 30 minutes of town.WolfWolfee - 11-1-2009 at 01:33 PM
Thought you were in Cow town, should be a hoot lots of people and now I hear HQ will be there too with demo's as well as FlySurfer
