Yeah, I hear what you mean....

I got into kitesurfing first and got hooked instantly...only problem is I wanted to go out more than once a week and couldn't because of family obligations.

Figured out I could get more air time in if I went to my local park but the wind was marginal at best (< 10mph). My depowers just wouldn't fly in this kind of wind.

...but then I purchased some large fix bridles and a buggy and now I can basically fly in a bug fart.

....thank God for that because I just couldn't make it through the week if I only got one day to fly.

....hope the wind improves for you :thumbup:

I must be in the wrong place.
We only had 10-15 here in Newport yesturday.

Had some fun with my Shockwave though.

Hopefully the winds will build today.

I have been on vacation all this week and NO WIND!!!! My 5 meter can't make it 10 feet into the air without the wind dropping to nothing and the kite follows! I have been to the local spots all week just standing there like some idiot looking at the sky!

That's all right Eli, I made sure it didn't go to waste. It was definitely one of those yeehaw, yeehaw... oh #@%$#!, kind of days.

$#@^^%$ !!!!!!
Headed out this afternoon with a bud, and his new 5.0 apex.
Hit the beach setup, and we actually watch the wind line suck 300 yards out to sea!!!!!

$%^$$#@ mother nature. :P

I bought myself a JoJo RM+10 and it has been keeping me smiling all summer long. Now all I hope for is temps under one hundred. We have had 46days over 100 so far this year and it cools off to the mid 90s when I pack up and head home around 10PM.

Looking forward to a much cooler Sunset Beach in a couple of weeks :cool:

I don't know about cooler here in Oregon.
We had a low of 53 and a high of 56 here in newport today!

Just blistering :lol:

It felt like fall here on Saturday. Low of 71 and a high of only 91. And the dew point was only 61 which is why it felt so nice outside. The wind was sucking instead of blowing though.
