Beats waiting around here for conditions to allow for snowkiting. I'm sure we'll get a bit restless though.

Really Spaceracer????
You should try riding a surfboard on northerlies or endless freestyle. Yea, if you are lawn mower who doesn't do down-winders, the perfectly flat water probably would get boring. I would not suggest the Outer banks either. The kitemares and dog poo discussions of event site are definitely more exciting.
Northerly tomorrow if you want to join in for a 7 mile down-winder wave session.
Also, the rumor that the North Flat is closed is NOT true. There are no lessons being taught at the North Flats but both shops offer lessons at different locations. Air Padre is selling passes.

Completely agree 
flat water, warm winds, sun shine = boring.
Dog Poo threads = exciting.

| I recently was kiting on a hard pack beach and found that I had disposable one gallon water bottles that worked well putting one on either side to hold the beast down. Most of us are carrying water with us so give it a shot.
