I'm believing Sailflow and accuweather that the direction will be NW - favoring Britannia. As for wind speed I'm expecting to be able to fly something today. I...
Well... so much for the downwinder. After a waiting period at the beach early this am, I packed up and drove to Aylmer and chat with the few early birds. ...
I was out on Lake Nipissing this aft with entire North Bay crew (3 guys) and 2 out-of-towners - like watching the 3 Stooges kite - running over lines, dropping...
Diane came out to play in the snow today. Diane1: try the Flex kites. She liked the fact that it is safer and she wasn't getting dragged around. Perfect amount...
Thomas and I got out at Britannia this afternoon for a great session. Lots of snow and fully powered up 12 for the most part, made for some great learning...
Oh yeah, I was out at home. Fun session. I was waiting for the Brit report, I thought there would be lots of guys out. NICE SHOTS!! I'm guessing you guys...
Diane and I went to Grandview so that we would have tons of room downwind for her first session while she gets used to the kite. Part of it was for me as well...

I got completely skunk'd. Just after I setup, around 3 PM ... ah well, next time! I get my bularoo 10m so I'll be a little less chicken getting out in...
Brent Yesterday was epic. Today was light but I rigged the 17m and rode until my legs fell off. I was amazed at how much power this kite has and how little bar...
I was having a look at Jon's Ocean Rodeochicken loop yesterday and its amazingly small so it doesn't suck up much arm range. It also has the trim strap...
