Sauvie Island kiteboarding etiquette?

Man, Adam you look like the happiest kiter out there. Whether it's spraying Tucker or having a kite dropped on you there's always a smile on your face. Way to spread the vibe. (Or are you just posing for the pics? Cool

)

I am land-locked this week and pretty jealous of your SI session.

My comment was more toward you're point about "people should not learn to kite around a big group". It sounded like you thought you had some sort of entitlement.

If you're kites falling out of the sky then obviously there's not much you can do, except maybe keep it in the sky when you're around large groups.

That Rhino was narrowly missed by many people as it spent so much time in the water. If you wanted to float an inflatable toy in the water you coulda just borrowed my innertube. Wink

the 16m sure is a ton of fun when everybody else is on 11m's. but when people start busting out 15m revs with surfboards I'm done for. I think the 16m Rhino has about the same low end as my 11m T2, but s shit load more pull, and thats what I like about it, just need to put out of my head that it's a light-wind kite.

Kyle.vh,

Thanks dude Cool

!!!!

How cool was that of you to take my board to shore Very Happy

. I was soooo thankful for that Very Happy

. Pretty cool board, huh

. I love that thing! If I could have I would have thrown some beer your way, but momma was there and she doesn't like me taking beer with Crying or Very sad

, so I try to consume a little early on Drunk

with no extras for evidence .

I really don't take umbrance with not knowing the right of way. Heck, after reading the replies to this post, sounds like I don't know either Embarassed

! I just try to give everyone the right of way

.

The thing I didn't like about Rhino Wunderboy, was the way he just kept his tack and flew into my stuff, when he had mucho minutos to steer clear. Dude had plenty of time. He could have just went 5 more feet downwind to avoid wrapping himself into my gear.

But I'm all cool wid it now Smile

.

Many thanks for the board lift Very Happy

And don't forget, you foil hater schmucksters out there in NOPO Deluxe-O-Rama, I'm also a pumpy, and windsurfed before you were soiling your diapers and/or before you were a twinkle in yo daddys left big toe. I think all ya alls are great and love each and everyone of ya's (just don't appreciate strong language used around my little ones and wife). Thanks for not hating Very Happy
