I recently got a kite for kiteboarding for a steal. I would never be able to get into this sport at this price again, so I took advantage of an exellent opportunity.

Below, is BettyBoop all harnessed up, ready to take the kite for a spin (as if.) I still haven't had it in the air, but I'm hoping for mid week.

This is my Fuel 16 Meter.


An update within an update.
Today was the second day of the kite festival at Maumee Bay State Park. I have a new kite-flying-friend.

THUMPER!

Are you supposed to make sense?

Ok Pops don't listen to anything my dad may have to say on the subject of smacking or weird looks.

I miss you!

Give Aunt Rose a hug/kiss for me. Oh, and smack Uncle Ron on the ass and give him a weird look.

This place has become quite boring.

When will you have all of the materials and be ready to begin glassing?

The site for kite spars and other replacement parts is, GoodWindsKites.com.

When are you going to be able to help me with my fiber-glassing project?

Hey, BizB - what's the site for picking up more kite spars? You know my specialty right now is crashing

Close. It is a water-sport. Rather than a skateboard, I'll be using a wake-board-like board.

Stupid typo in the link. I'll fixorate it later.

Meanwhile, HERE IT IS

Wow! That's huge. The link didn't work so I assume kiteboarding is a skateboard using wind technology as propulsion, or am I way off?

I started building my kiteboard last night.

I'm doing a pictoral step by step so I'll have that as an update, sometime.

I have to admit...I had fun flying the kite. I will still probably spend more time on my beach chair than flying but it was a good time.

I got the fuel into the air today with some help from ferretmom (Thanks ferretmom!)

I did eat a bit of sand as I was dragged for 20 feet or so on the first try. Thumper got some pics of that... they'll be up soon enough.

Then, the second flight, I had no problems. I was able to steer it around the wind-window and power/de-power the kite at will. I can't wait to get into the water.

I avoided the water today because it was mostly an on-shore wind and I didn't have any experienced help nearby.

I've posted pictures of the M80.

I'll see what I can do to get some pics of the Beamer posted.
