 Mon Feb 04, 08 1:24 pm Kiteboarding in Keflavik, Iceland |
 |
|
this place sounds awesome, always windy, plenty of water (not too cold because of the gulf-stream that flows around Iceland, not to mention the endless snowkiting opportunities.
Also, they barely have any trees in Iceland, and plenty of non-arable open fields, perfect for landboarding.
check out their forecast:

F = C * 1.8 + 32
so 14C = 57.2F

I watched a show on Iceland's geothermal once - they have big geothermal powerplants & they dump the water into man-made lakes which are consequently heated at a balmy 104 degrees F! - bet that'd be fun to hit! Like kiting a fricken hot tub!
They are actually an agricultural community where there crops are grown in greenhouses heated by geothermal!! Houses have free community heat, & sidewalks are heated. Really cool stuff. I hear it's really cheap to go, but the food sux.

I was gonna say...Kiting that with an air temp that's half the water temp would be super lofty.
