avg.54

I been blessed with two weeks of epic winds and riding from as early as 10am

but today
avg 54mph with spikes of mid and upper 60s


perfect day high clouds chance of thunder and rain but didin't happen... 4.5m and just a few beach combers low tide 1:pm speed speed and more speed but slow coming out of the long sweping turns ..I ended more towards the soft sand but still plenty of wind to plow through....

tomorrow forcast ....higher winds:singing:

I pretty comfortable in that wind our beach other than having one large hotel and highway 1 down wind there plenty of soft real estate down wind....

and in that kind of wind not to many obstacles to avoid except seagulls and the humans are off the beach from the blowing sand....


I did how ever ended up being hauled up to the 3rd floor once and ended clinging onto the hotel balcony and factor the abduction happen on the seashore 20 feet below the ground level of the hotel so that was maybe 50 foot OBE
I came out of it w/o a scratch but my wing ended up on the hotels roof that was just hot moped the day before

and 2 weeks later almost ended up landing in the freeway:sniff:

Dry lake are not to bad in 40+ winds but the dang dust starts and not very forgiving w/o having clear line of sight of your target

Yea he is crazy I have seen the hotel and aiming for the balcony when its only a max 4-5 ft wide if that 3 stories up. Enough said. Hot tar on a kite! That would suck.

hehehe!

if you think that's crazy try operating heavy equipment...

I work in the Santa Lucia Mt. along the back side of Big Sur coast cutting roads ,driveways, clear & ruff grade building sites for custom multi -million dollar homes{like 60,000sq feet} with variable pitches as much as 50 and 60 percent at 22, 243 feet...
the type that will make you pee your pants scary or kill you, with deep ravines w/ poison oak and ive so thick you and taste it in the air

and top of all that Mt.lions, bob cats, wild boar and LOTS of rattle snakes and in the late summer season Tarantulas... add in the high mt. bugs{ horse fly, deer flys, nats, ticks} that trying to eat your lunch impossible ...

Thats a rush!... you can never let you guard down

at lease power kiting is 2nd nature to me and more rewarding

I been exposed to lots of rattlers but these tend to be aggressive espesically during mating season, the Tarantulas are cool but you'll never know when they pop up especially if you under greasing up the the equipment

Mostly the dozers ,loaders, excavators and hoes.... But we all get experience on every peice of equipment my boss owns
..it just so happens that the guy who scrapes has the EYE frickin guy can lay down the dirt like he been doing it 4 years longer than GOD!
