I only have one child, she is 9. She played soccer for a short while and thankfully decided it was not for her. She has tried several sports and we fully encourage it but she hasn't found one yet :)

The short story: Jason got out on his 12m and big board for close to an hour. Nice day, pretty warm. Long story: we should have left town around 11 but finally hit the hyway about 2. Went to the river first, looked promising as we drove down the grade, by the time we parked at end of cocaiena ally it seemed to have died. Saddled up and drove to cj to see what was shaking there- not much. Thought there was some white caps on the east pool of cj so headed over there to check it out-no not so much. So we drove back to river and it seemed to call out to Jason so we parked next to the bridge and tossed the kite into the water. Looked like fun but I had a nap on my mind by then so I commenced to napping once JW was out and having fun. Tomorrow LP looks to be a classic fall session and I'm all rested up. Hope to see ya'll up there.

yeah, I think that was the storm passing through.  Look at current reading MH
12:55 25g32.  Also, everything west by Ontario is lower 20s gusting to lower
30s.

What's easy to go spot for Christmas trip to kite? Hawaii? Mexico?

Today was retro day at LP. Launched my 14m cabhrina NITRO 3 complete with the
recon system. Pretty light when I finally got rigged at around 945. My hats off
to all of you who made it through the early stages of kiteboarding.

Thanks, how many good ones! We are thinking to go the week just before
Christmas, just after the schools close. I'm looking for a spot to use th 12. If
I take my wife on a beach good for the 7 she could ask for divorce,

Are you interested to join? Anyone interested?

Last January I didn't need a wet suit in Los barriles and all four days we were
there the right kite size was 12 or 14m.  These VIDS were shot in January:
