If I had a skateboard, for sure... BUT I'm sure the water isn't that cold! Laughing

That doesn't sound pleasant. Will you be back in commission for Spring snowboarding?

Also that airport parking lot ground boarding is rather unforgiving - call the whaaaaaaambulance. kraemer-Dog shot some video - amusing.

Lots of respect for not braining yourself - need to see how the pros do it- with the east wind it was possible to drop the kite on Marine Drive, the Dock, the fence, some airport or cell antennas, the Marine Sheriff Office, and a few cars in the parking lot.

All in all lots of fun.

If anyone's in the neighborhood, I'll probably show up at the airport with my gear sometime around 6:30.
That place is really well lit at night.
I hope the wind keeps up!

Best wishes Chanson, heal up soon!

At least you've got a use for your old Turbo bars!!! My B series kites are all rigged up like that too. 20m lines and a 17" for the B3 and a "custom" 10.5 to slow the B2 down a bit.
