Hey Sol
sick shit @ Floras, Nice Video(take note of kite, all you historains Shocked ).

I was so tired on the 3rd day of riding that i fell asleep at lunch. I had left my kite and board on the beach. My friends were using the board and then put it on the kite when they left for lunch. Anyway tried and groggy i headed out for an afternoon sesh. and my kite was gone. Board was there. So i launched my friends TD and head out on a down winder to scout for it. I didn't have to go anyfarther than Will's b/c there it was on the grass. THANKS WILL FOR SAVING MY EVERYDAY 11 KITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It got blown down the lake and will rescued it on his jet ski.
.
Floras is cool. Lots of nice people there and great riding conditions

So sol-kiter, you rip it up!!! OLD SCHOOL!!!


Peace!!!

Hey, Sol-Survivah.

Looks like Andy Bolt in that video?

PyroPro and Red Helmet, Drop 136.

That place looks pretty gusty!
