...as in the South Pacific Islands.
Just got off the Odyssey after three weeks of sailing the open seas.
working on a real fun video of the trip right now. will share once it's up.
took a couple of pictures to help you remember what it's like to be kiting in a warm tropical location.
it's really tough for me to get too excited about coming home to this cold weather.
I just want to stay inside and work on videos.

Here's a couple from one of the islands we kited at.

But - the pics do look pretty sweet - wish I was there instead of here!! _________________ Still rockin gojos, *ssless chaps, and ankle weights! |

Looks great but you best (no pun intended) post up some wave shots cause they've been down right epic here in South Padre Island the last 2 weeks. Sorry to leave 'cause the end is not coming anytime soon as far as I can tell. |

That water looks SO inviting - It would be nice to 'trunk it' for a change
Those waves look amazing - looks like they are almost closing out tho ?  |

Thanks for the wave pics and video. Did you ride any of those peelers. Looks like an
awesome trip with some kiteboarding thrown in for good measure. Definitely an
adventure worth taking.
But I must say, if it's wave kiting you want to do,,, You can't beat Texas and our own coastal goodness. Close, cheap, safe and if you give it time, EPIC. 5M in surf strapless on a 6 footer is my new love. Texas has got the drizzly gloom going on right now so I'm sipping the last of my box wine with the heater on.
Praying for snow, except along the long drive home. Probably do the Las Vegas route. |

Awesome!!!!
That is the fantastical voyage - find any lost WWII airmen or cannibals
what types of fishies did you get - some types of tuna, spanish mackerel? Did you spear fish? _________________ Go Deep!
