Sigh... winter tends to bring out depression and other anti-social ills for a whole host of reasons... lack of sun (vitamin A)... bitter cold... girlies covering up theyr'e Rubinesque bits...

I think this time of year we are essentially designed by nature to hide out in our caves and whack anything that appears in the cave entrance!!

If there was a god he/she (must be a she - she just wasn't concentrating the day she got guys bods very wrong )would make the winds turn on in the warmer afternoons of winter.. Then of course we could spend all of summer working on tans and wining and dining lovelies, instead of making pathetic (to the listener) excuses to our other halves as to why today is the day that needs kiting not quality time...

Brace yourselves it's gonna be a long slow winter.. I will at least have the comfort of an overdue shoulder op to contend with so i won't be able to get out anyhoo...

Wish I could be a bear and wake up when it's October.

Take up landkiting! I can go out on my 4m Ozone Samurai upto 15kts then it's too much for me and I switch to the water. I know it's not the same kind of rush but you're still out there flying a kite and there's that added risk factor that you can break bones more easily on the land ;-)

Time to start searching for your winter kicks when there is no wind......there's plenty of options you just need to look around!

I want to go wakeboarding again. Anybody got a tow? Used to run the UWA waterski club and we boarded & skiied all through winter although that was years ago. Anyway I am good with paying for fuel and driving and helping clean up etc. so PM me if you need a 'gofer'

I got me this to spend time and money on:

this is what i spend all my non-kiting time on
we played the music behind it (shameless self promotion )
prefer kiting but

I do porn all year round. If by 'do' you mean artistically evaluate for aesthetic purposes only, of course
Oh, and for batting off to when the Mrs is tired

looks like he's set up his Speed 17 as a paraglider....

Hey Lach, I have used a kite with the Freelines - In N wind the bike path at South Perth is good fun. In S wind the Nedland foreshore in front of Steve's Hotel. Heaps of spots along the coast in W wind but need to fly the kite on bridle lines only to eliminate any chance of a kite across any roads. On the bike paths I keep the kite high out of other path users way.

I hope to have some video footage to go with the Vigorboard and DirtSurfer clips with kites @ http://members.iinet.net.au/~ianyoung/skate.htm

Alex Sanz has also used them with a kite. I thought he was passing on the demo set of Freelines to you to try out?
