Addicted Sat May 07, 11 6:46 am     INSANE! I am down at the Santa Cruz, CA American Windsurf Tour event right now, yesterday was going off pretty good, it is amazing to watch the likes of Francisco Goya live and in person, that guy is a freakin magician on the waves! Killer show out there. Of course I went out and got some too! Here is a link for some of the action: http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=d1a4e4eef8cd7953c762687fc&id=354e0e509c _________________ i like to kite the board blowhard Since 26 Dec 2005 2027 Posts Windward Sat May 07, 11 7:16 am     shred_da_gorge wrote: I can't imagine dropping down a wave that big and not outrunning the kite... My expierence with offshore wind kite wave riding is that the wave pushing you windward at 20 mph and a 15 mph wind adds up to some too fast kite wave riding. The blow boarders have the ability to ride the board easily with no power other than the wave and with an offshore wind they also have power on the face to haul ass outta there. nice clean faces but I'll take side on specialk Guest Sat May 07, 11 9:29 am     That is just so frickin' insane! I can't even remotely relate to pursuing that kind of a wave.

Kiting there just seems extra sketchy not because of the wave but because you got helicopters hovering around. _________________ BIP- "YOUR GIRLFRIENDS FAVORITE" kochease Since 03 Jul 2008 760 Posts In Ft.

I just don't get the windsurf-kite angst. Geez, at least people are out there having a good time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVtRJDG60RM&feature=player_embedded#at=218 _________________ Be kind to Kooks pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Mon May 09, 11 9:53 am     I don't think there is actual angst....at least not anymore anyway. I could barely windsurf in the chop let alone jaws. That definitely qualifies for insane. _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
