There was even wind today. Hot off my sewing machine, this 4.2 Meter kite actually flew long enough for me to take this picture. I think with a little wind it could even pull a dirtbike in a parade.

I bagged it, too. Started to drive up and finally common sense overrode the denial and misplaced optimism. Still trees and hazy skies don't make for a great day of windsurfing.
Worst part is some a**hole almost ran me off the road on the way back. Had I not braked hard, I would have been selling a bunch of masts cheap.
Have fun tomorrow. Off to go camping in NC for a couple of days.
There was wind today. You just need the right tools and the right location. Oh, peelskid, my bad - I meant to type "dirtboard" (pictured below). I guess that darn autocorrect got me again.....

Sounds like a good compliment to my "short-board Tuesday." (Have to admit - it was a really short board.)

R, don't post pics like that. It'll give Peelskid ideas.

I plan to sail tomorrow, Thursday, at Van Pugh if the forecast holds. It's about time for some wind.

Do you actually think that with a 6 knot breeze you would stand a chance of countering a dirt bike with 65 hp.
If that was a challenge then I accept.

There's hardly any wind in Decatur at 1:30PM, so I'm planning on sailing Friday instead.

Randy is this the start of a new sport? What are you calling it? Dirt-boarding or off-road kiting?
Barrett
I hope not "dirt bagging"
Seriously though, he needs to stop posting these - it gives Peelskid ideas. Poor Randy will be towed down Moreland Ave. by a kazoo band.
