Cool pics, Mike! 
I had boardshorts on over my Pyro Surf... but Jeff wasn't. His drysuit is baggy like the Pyro Pro.

I missed the best shots.  Jeff jumped over the boat twice, and I missed both times. First time I didn't know he was going to do it and wasn't quick enough. Second time the memory card was full!
Henry I'm not!

By early Nov. my kites were usually put away for the season.
Nice pics Nak - Sounds like you provided boat support ? - That sure would help w/ the safety factor.

I was not aware that there are some huge boulders just under the water near the boat ramp. I did a huge boost just after I took off and almost landed on one  Be careful close to there. |
we actually went to the very east end of dalton point, there is a little trail through the bushes for about 100 feet. it brings you out onto this nice open beach, about 200 yards of open beach. yea the wind is directly onshore, but i think it is WAAAAYYYY better than the sketchy ass boat ramp. also given the water was pretty high yesturday, there was lots of beach at dalton (enough for 4-5 kites to be blown up and lines strung out if you pack 'em in there) so i can only imagine how much beach there is during low water levels.
the wind was much better quality up there too. SO MUCH FUN on the new fuels!!!!!!!!!

Palm Trees - no fair!!
Looks sweet. It was also 60 degrees at the Ponds Sunday, thank you Al Gore!!
super marginal till the tide kicked around - actually packed up to go (sorry Brian) but stuck around to make sure Dwayne didn't float off to sea - then the stars aligned tide, wind and butter - did have to pump up the 11m twice but pretty sweet skimming
