Just got in from a great first ride. Started on the Best Tempest `17m and got a few good rides. Then wiped out and lost my board and was dragged up on the...
You looked good! But I never got to see an invert before I left. :-) Congrats on the first session. *bastard* _____ From: OttawaKiting@yahoogroups.com...
http://ca.geocities.com/silverbacked13/hat/ Jeff made up this site for his dad. Check it out. Has all the info on Hatteras for our trip.... Is some one taking...
They are lighter, take about the same time to build. I was on another board I built last year. 148cm/40cm. BS Hung went up to Chalet to get the trailer..... ...
Cool, if you could get Hung to post some instructions and pictures on the school website... I might try building some formica models when I get tired of my...
Brent, we're you wearing shorts over all that neoprene? Hatteras has been a mixed bag so far, one solid 4.7 windsurfing day, one good kiting day and a no wind...
I cheeked out the weather report over there, looks rainy out there this week, with big chance of thunder showers for Friday. But guess what it looks Sunny and...
Looks like the first Ottawa contigent is getting to sampling of all kinds of conditions. Posted earlier today: /X.NEW.KMHX.CF.S.0002.050505T1600Z-050506T0000Z/...
http://www.bestkiteboarding.com/content/pages/Hellfish.asp Well, since I'm not going to Hatteras... and it's too cold for me to take a dip... I thought I'd see...
I know... seems fishy... pardon pun... I can see how a superlight material can help lots on the low end... but how about the top end? I'm just wondering if...
Rippin day yesterday. I windsurfed the ocean in the morning. Big sloppy ugly grinders. No sure if it's sane this morning. Looks unlikely we'll be sticking...
So, is there anyone still left here who can conveniently check the water temps in the river? Just wondering when it'll be safe to get out with a 3mm full suit...
I Was out Yesterday on my KiteCat. Mile was there too both think its doable with a 3mm. Just make sure you don't stay in too long. Hypothermia happens before...
I'd wait a bit with a 3mm suit if I was you. It felt cool in a 5mm suit yesterday. Eric - where were you, Britannia or Shirley's Bay or what? It was real...
They tell me that beginners pretty much do downwinders by default. So if I plan for a downwinder I can say "ya I meant to do that". Waiting for warm water...
I think there is some truth to that. high aspect kites are harder to relaunch but a 5th line can solve that problem. I wouldn't discourage someone from...

That's not the case for beginners Doug Yes high aspect will go upwind but they can be dangerous as they react faster. That is not what beginners need. Yes a...
Peter, where exactly is Grandview? Can you name some streets nearby. I'm trying to locate it on Yahoo maps to see how the route would look to Britannia. Doug,...
Grandview Road is off carling just west of Moodie. You lanch at right-of-ways between houses, so there's not a big beach. That's why you need someone to help...
Ok, I found Grandview... looks like a nice little downwinder to start with... what's in the way of doing a longer one? Like from Shirley's Bay or Constance...
Shirley's would be good too and an easier launch. Just a little further. Constance Bay would be GREAT, but not for newbies. It's a long way and the wind is...
Hi there, Just curious what people's views are on the use of something like 303 Aerospace Protectant on kites. Is it even worth the hassle and extra expense...
Good morning all. I had a nice pleasent "swim" in Constance Bay on Tuesday night. I was in a full 3mm wetsuit with no booties or gloves. I was in looking for...
