Steady Winds
I have personally experienced the best and worst wind conditions. How much does the quality of the wind affect your session? I guess this is more of a
poll to see what your thoughts are but I don't want to set up a poll...Whatever.

quality is a pretty big deal for me...If it is gusty on the light side, then my kite may or may not stay up easily, let alone be powered. If it is
gusty on the high side, I ride a bit more conservative...it can get stupid reaaalllllll quick. Even though I fly PL's wind quality is pretty big for
me.
Plus, when I go out in the winter time its gonna be around 0 to -10 Fahrenheit, if not colder, so with the wind chill were out in -40 sometimes. I
don't want to be out there unless it is a killer session with perfect winds.

Our winds lately have either sucked or realy sucked. We either have no wind or like yeasterday and today 30-40mph. A nice day off from work with 15
mph would be sweet.

Wind quality is extremely important to me. I've all but given up kiting inland where I live. Gusty conditions where the wind will surge up to 30
knots, then drop down to zero and then back up again with a 90 degree shift is a nightmare. I'd rather drive 5 1/2 hours to the beach for several
hours of clean wind than waste my time around here.
