Sailed from about 3:30 to 5:30 pm. 104L board 6.2 sail fully powered about 50% of the time, overpowered about 25% of the time and shlogging about 25% of the time. I was sailing north of the Bridge and was the only person sailing which surprised me since there didn't seem to be wind anywhere else in the area.

yo dude!! i was on my 9m kite and lit like a firefly. What a great day, i havent sailed the sound there since 96'. and to think i grew up there and started there when i was 10, such memories. That was one of those days i will never forget. What was really cool was while mid flight on a few jumps, i could look clear over to the bay side as well as see the cars in the parking lot where we were all parked. that was just wild. yeah next time i make it down i will take your stuff for a spin. I took mustangs out for a ride and felt dialed right in even threw a half cocked forward on the way in. It really is like riding a bike, I think kiting has made my windsurfing even better dont know why i just have noticed it.

anyway, centre island will never be the same now that i mucked it up with my prescense

Wouldn't you say that kiting is easier than windsurfing?

"Wouldn't you say that kiting is easier than windsurfing?"

I think the initial learning curve is definately faster than windsurfing..the ability to go back and forth comfortable takes about 1/5 the time for sure. However, like any sport, once you start to push things, it become exponetially more difficult, as hard as windsurfing without a doubt. if not harder in a way becuase the wipeouts become helacious. not as easy to bail out.....
