Re: Kiting spot at risk to be shut down, need help quick.

rick iossi (sic?) is a forum mediator there and a super guy who has done a lot of work both in front of and behind the scenes to keep maintain florida beach access.

Re: Kiteboarding, too sketchy for your girlfriend?

i was in kanaha in may, perfect 12/12 8-11m wind. the fly in the ointment was this guy trying to teach his g/f to kite; the guy was a real douche-bag, yellin' at her when she struggled a bit with the launch (who hasnt struggled with the launch at naish beach?), throwing down the kite, acting like a ...

Re: Beginner in need of advice..

questions often reveal more about someone that declaratives.

have you taken any lessons? if not, do so.

if you dont take lessons, dont buy a kite, buy life and disability insurance.

the best kite to buy is often the one your (reputable) instructor suggests.
