Dude! If you read the post its all good fun. We are not used to this in FL. Watch the news. We are setting records. I read these post because NW kite is a cool forum. You dont get your A-hole ripped for just posting some shoot the shit kinda stuff like I just did....or so I thought.

You cant kite 24 hours a day. I gotta work, I gotta sleep, and I dont kite at dark. SO every now and then I read this forum.

Maybe not so much anymore if you represent. Maybe create a members only section if you feel some outsider is crampin your style.

And!.... check out my post. I didn't disrespect anything or anyone in my first post. I just posted something that you all could relate to. Your crew fired back at me with all this smack. And I took it as smack, not disrespect. Come down and visit when you can. Your more then welcome. We have some good days and bad.


Dude, its all good. I think there was a little misunderstanding. I think you two should kiss and make up Laughing

The only reason we are giving you shit is because you came on OUR forum a few months back and rubbed in your recent warm wather and water knowing that we had cold wet weather.

Im not complaining bout the shit. I didnt take it as bad.

Your boy G looked like he was all mad and serious at me so I had to retort.

You want Karma. While your looking back at all my posts, read my very first post on your forum.

Its all cool. It was silly post. Sorry, I didn't mean for it to escalate in to a battle.

No worries. I don't really care that much. I'm just giving you a bit of shit cuz it seems like you've come on here more than once and talked shit about us having some fun in non-ideal cold/stormy conditions and I don't understand why you joke about people trying to get stoked. There's plenty of other stuff to make fun of. We usually try to encourage the people willing to go above and beyond to get their stoke on. No harm done though.

we were just discussing the lack of communication that comes about from texts and internet forums
most don't how it's intended or what the emphasis is

Twisted Evil Evil or Very Mad Mad Shocked Very Happy Smile Sad Surprised Laughing Cool Crying or Very sad Wink Rolling Eyes Idea Question Arrow

speaking face to face is so 2008 Wink

miscommunications that's the way Razz

yeah imagine if people enjoyed cold weather kiting and did it on snow.....

its not as good as paying more taxes and growing the government work force large enough to vote in more taxes at will.

wait cold weather kiting is way good for keeping your mind from thinking about government......... keeps sane peaple sane.

You are an idiot. Lake michigan has NE gales to 50 knots. Ignorant fool. 12-15 foot waves, strong currents etc. No one who knows anything takes that "Lake" for granted.

BTW I don't SUP I said Guys were. Learn to read.

Alright guys, ragging on each other is fun and all, but this thread has become pretty stupid. Sorry about that. Let's move on.

Why are we judging people's riding by the air temp and not their skills? A picture's worth a thousand words and video is worth even more. Post some footage of yourself and let it do the talking instead. This will be a lot more fun than debating who's wiener shrank more while they were kiting.

Here's some wave riding footy. Photos are courtesy of Rico. Thanks again for shooting some great stuff Thumb's Up. Gabe and I shot the video.

Let's see em!

yeah, and a 101 mph gust was recorded last week at rooster. (well crown point anyways). sustained 60-70 knot winds I guess. But anyways, we are pussies and you live in the midwest so I guess we are even. Do you guys have cameras out there?
