Hi... Im looking for someone, or others who I can come learn kiting with...
I just got a 12 m kite and gear...

I have ten years experience windsurfing, but I am switching over to kiting...
Anyone out there that rides in more low wind conditions would be great, my kite is pretty big and its the only one I have at the moment...

email me if you are into it.

http://www.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2072 Lots more in the 'Forum' 'Kite surfing' ... Play safe , but play often. 8) I found that when learning to kite it was fun to unwind by windsurfing when the wind was a little much for my skill level.

Just remember

As the wind is only 15 to 25 u may be able to handle it ,
But if it reaches 30, the power in the kite will almost double.
34 knots of wind, You may be in for a ride you will never forget.
and for a beginner they should not even think about going out.
in that kind of wind.
Peace

Force = Velocity squared ... Ex.: 10 knots F= 100 ... 20 knots = 400 ... As the wind strength doubles the force increases by a factor of 4. 8)
