Wow! I make it closer to 100+ km !!! actual kiting
after all the tacks and that is likely conservative!
yeesh no wonder my legs are sore...

3+ hrs

everyone else kited 43 ... I kited 42.5km
swam out- swam in... haha


great kiting with you guys. cheers

:shock:

Hey Luke

do you have a full pack yet? -any room for a "mainlander"? :wink:

i have done a few downwinders (and some upwinders too) and I am experienced kiter (since wipika free air!) and i was thinking about a weekend at Gordos anyways.

sent Luke an email. Pasta you got a pm ...

...wouldnt that be great...
is it even possible???

to find have a clickable link from say the latest reports to the googlemap or where ever so that you cab click on the lik and see exactly where it is located on a map. kinda like www.windonthe water.com so you can visually see where it is ...

CAPTION-

When the wind shuts off you have to swim in-
no matter WHAT BRAND kite you're riding. (see background wind... not).

Eric is a good man and an innovative designer and
deserves better than this cheap one sided slagging
(and so does Matt)

have fun, play fair, be nice (kids)

'nuff said ...

excellent thanx Sandy Pants!

BWD roolz. get all your wind & weather info in one place. have for years.
wherever Im headed.

thanx Dave

is it too late to put an order in for a lrge hoodie please.

may i make a suggestion-
Borrow a waist harness from one of the kiters there (johanna?)
and try windsurfing in it-keep in mind it may take a while to adjust your style to it but in the end you may prefer the mobility and freedom of riding/windsurfing with your legs free'ed.

I know i did. in fact ...

waist harness

works great for kiting and the last few years i windsurfed before i went over to the dark side I very much enjoyed the freedon and mobility of a waist harness in the waves and trying basic tricks windsurfing

still use it the occasional time i pole dance

The kite launch will likely be available for all to use but like you said, will have priority for kites launching and landing .

I would expect that like in many places with wind enthusiasts,
a healthy mutual respect & assistance for each other
with safety and patience being paramount,
no matter ...

!~

Ya it's pretty big all right!

90feet & twenty tons!

Who knew 20 tons of steel would float...( Matt did !)laffs

The angles are about 3' for the upwind launch side and then
then one foot flat section' & 2' on the other side
and it's over 5' through the middle

you can see the angles clearly in one ...

your "intrepid reporter" filed this story for the alberni valley times

this will become the ramp for launching from the dock
