I took kiting lessons and got scared because I thought is was unsafe, but now the technology has improved, and you can depower those monsters to pretty much zero.<br />I'll give it another try when I get to Chicago... do whatever gets you smiling, that's my motto :)Juan Piantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109873030985626050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339566540891560490.post-10085842307965231602009-06-14T22:22:02.640-04:002009-06-14T22:22:02.640-04:00Igor- I used to have some bigger sails.

The only down side was that I felt like I couldn't work on new moves or make much progress with a really big sail, so I started using smaller sails and working on non-planing freestyle, but it's not too exciting. <br />Great to hear from you! I miss those crazy Winter sessions with you and Juan.Steve Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577427588079618765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339566540891560490.post-30415954089052909752009-06-14T18:15:52.506-04:002009-06-14T18:15:52.506-04:00Hey Steve,

I was able to plain when kiter can’t. But probably he dd not have a right size. Honestly I’m also considering to became a kiter but for me it make sense with kite size around 16mxm. And I can fine such a big size .<br /><br />--IgorIgorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132875627087733157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339566540891560490.post-82834968640382469432009-06-11T07:02:52.800-04:002009-06-11T07:02:52.800-04:00Jean; kinda, sorta, maybe- I'm looking for mo...Jean; kinda, sorta, maybe- I'm looking for more power in light winds. I'm sick of schlogging on my biggest sail. No way I'm giving up windsurfing in strong winds.scooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422754379102069179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339566540891560490.post-21305632356351439392009-06-10T23:53:48.844-04:002009-06-10T23:53:48.844-04:00Trainer Kite?

It was 4pm and yet... still hit the long road down... to get skunked (again!). So... Something has to go: Leave Boston for a windy place closer to where live/ work OR give up windsurfing entirely and start boozing instead... O.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
