The water ride has priority for me. If we nail that then the Ion can come out for a pump session. Might as well see what this inflatable fad is all
about. I'll have the buggy and all the kites. Now if mother nature will just come across with some wind!

No kidding? What did I miss that you got an Ion? Didn't know you went to the pump side.

A local friend called me the other day and said it was collecting dust in his garage. He said if I come over for a once over with setup, it was mine
for the taking. I thought about it for awhile, negotiated for him to give me cash with the deal but he was firm on his price. I'm sure it is a
veiled cult trick to just get one in my hands and try to bring me from the D'arc side. I frequently don't have an assistant so it won't see much use
with me. There might be a better home for it somewhere else.

Dropped some pics in the gallery in the KITESURFING (Woo Hoo!) section. Josh got some great shots of Phree working the 13 Venom in 12 to 14mph. Sorry
to all those we missed with the camera today - more time riding and less time clicking.
Josh and I finally got tapped off on the water. Thanks to all for guidance and encouragement. Great group, SoFKA. Great time!
Bbob and Tri, Thanks for the set-up.

Posted Pics of PHREERIDER and Josh George (mgatc's son) in gallery, under kitesurfing.
Great day. At one point I counted 5 Synergies and 1 Venom in the air at once; truly a pump-free zone. Lots of circus tricks including 2 instances of
an ARC passing through another ARC's lines.
Thanks to Tridude and family for hosting.

Saturday was one fine day of kiting. I really enjoy being with other kiters that have become great friends now. These guys are like my dads hunting
buddies from a generation ago. Some buggies rolling put my back in my comfort zone after my quarter mile of drifting, starting, and sinking back down
with the kiteboard. I got several starts both to the left and right, but was a little sloppy keeping the power flowing from the 12m Synergy. I'd do
a big power stroke and while amazed that I was up and riding on top of the water, would slowly sink back down after some distance. I'm sure it was
like when I started out in the buggy and would forget half or more of any kite skills I had known well minutes before starting to roll in the buggy.
I did a water relaunch, that when Preerider later told me his technique, I realized I had done it the opposite of the correct method. I lost my board
behind me once and body dragged away to get some angle and then went straight back to it. So my first attempt to get on top of the water wasn't
without small successes. MGATC and son Josh are both a step ahead of me on this water stuff. I frequently looked up and saw MG riding up on top of
the water. Yes, quite the growth of skills with the SoFKA guys in the past 2 years I've been around them. Then there is Phreerider. Dang, this guy
has skills. He just makes it look so easy. He gets full use of his equipments abilities. We can all learn a thing or two from him about our kites
and what we ride with them. Thanks tridude for being a great host and fixing us up with such a sweet spot to play with our toys.

I would say bob's water relaunch was right on. the alternative tech i use is a quick snatch. bob did the text book like on the videos and worked
beautifully and went to get the board! progress supreme indeed folks!
everyone there doing some part of the learning process
nathan downin' winders and the walk (it will pass and don't worry about it , just keep doing it)
mel and josh getting riding lines with board and kite control
bob's water starts with board and drags
coming to the "enduring part" keep doing it folks! for everyone there the next 10 hours you all will see a tremendous change.
a little guidance (something we all need) but self discovery in application is when it all starts to come together.
