If your going to Hatteras these two schools do a great job:
Outerbankskiting.com
Kitehatteras.net
Both have boats which will get you to the wind and both have excellent reuptations.
I agree. Sounds best to give it up. Sorry it the reality of kiteboarding.SSK wrote:Sorry, it sounds like you are probably getting into the wrong sport. Getting fired, getting divorced, losing custody of children, missing family obligations, only vacationing in windy places, spending large sums of money on the newest kite gear, hanging out on kite forums, not participating in any activities that could happen on windy days, etc... are just part of the territory. Come on, where is your commitment?While I may not love my job I am not keen on being fired just yet.

Despite industry hype designed to promote sales of the latest equipment by convincing you that you must always become more and more technically proficient so that you can awe everyone with your greatness, there are still some kiters who kite for FUN, exercise, peace of mind and the general enjoyment available in ALL the other aspects of kiting, including the entire LEARNING process.Grizwald wrote:It grieves me, but I expect my lack of commitment means that my picture will never grace the front pages of kiting magazines, nor will I be featured in best adds surrounded by bikini clad beauties. Hopefully I can glean the best of the suggestions contained herein and over the next couple years advance to the level of mediocre. If all else fails in two years 137 days I will be retiring to a beach somewhere that will be chosen on the basis of good wind, warm temperatures and cheap beer.
On a more serious note neither Sandy or Danny of kitetopia fame has got back to me, does anyone know if they will be teaching a Sherman island this year? Further if they are not does anyone have and recommendations for instructors in that area?
As soon as I post this I will see if I can find a cable park. I assume there is one somewhere in the Bay Area.
Thanks again,

Not necessarily true. You live in the Bay Area, so your chance of becoming a bizillionairre is pretty high. Buy yourself an airlines and you can be old an flabby and still get lots of bikini clad covershots.nor will I be featured in best adds surrounded by bikini clad beauties
