At what Latitude do you live and kite?

Postby SupaEZ » Tue May 15, 2012 2:28 pm

Supa is at 28.3N

What gave me the idea to ask this is Peter Frank who live/kite much more North than most of us
(where the sun's harmful uv rays is not really an issue :o )

Let's also hear from the South Latitudes kiters below the Equator like Toby and others

I am most of the time at 25'N, mid summer I go 7'N, and fly south for the other summer at 33'S.

Dont know about the UV, just know its damn hot! Midnight last night was 40 C! :angryfire:
