This topic was taking up too much room on the message board which I believe is supposed to be wind related, so I thought I would move it here. Thanks everybody for your input so far.

Hey - Thanks everyone for your input - much appreciated! I am stoked to get down there and get some sun. Hope to see you early '08!

Martin and Rob - you guys have it good - wish I could be with you now!

Cheers,

So, Rob is complaining about humidity down in La Ventana. Now, I have never been down there, but it has been described to me as desert. This, to me, implies dry. Like when I was in Phoenix, it was @ 10%, and you could leave your potato chips out for a week and they wouldn’t go stale…. I know it’s on...

as a follow up on that Blackwater stuff:

That first one is Marathon Dave's. Not sure of his number, someone else have that? Johnny?

All in all, who cares if 9-11 was an inside job. It would pale in comparison to the misery the U.S. creates on a daily basis.

well said.

The producers quote was actually: " It is my hope that people will not take what is said in the film as truth, but find out for themselves, for truth is not told, it is realized.” I watched the film. Reminded me a bit of Loose Change (9/11 agiprop). I find the film has a few problems, but I'm n...

Start by reading this thread http://www.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2072 Then make sure you get, at an absolute mininum, land based flying lessons.

$5 and a beer is indeed a bargain! Back in the era before jet skis at the lake, I had to self-resucue numerous times. I think all winsurfers should know how to de-rig and swim the gear back, and all kiters should know how to wind -up the lines and self-rescue with the kite if there is any wind. To e...

Hmm, this sounds interesting. Except I think today it's a bit too West to make it optimal. Also, since it's Father's day, busy until @3:30. If the wind improves and you are going later, let us know. Othwerwise, perhaps sometime in July when it usually gets more south in the early afternoon? Cheers, ...

you also might ask if the person giving the lesson has a jet ski - that might make a big difference in price. A chance to save some time, or a chance to save money - it's your choice!

Thanks Dave! This way it saves people calling me all the time to ask me what the trees in my back yard are doing
