I was there in the spring about four years ago.. There was a big swell pumping in Rincon.. actually it was incredibly big. Guys out on guns and very impressive. No wind in that part of the island, although Shacks is on the N-N-W corner and rumor has it its a good location.. again, we didn't get any ...
Alaska guy, Don't let all this ah...constructive criticism, get you down. I remember back in the 90's seeing some nut trying to water ski in the gorge with a kite. My first thought was, "Jesus Christ! who's this kook!". And now? I'd never bother trying to windsurf. And regarding line wear, safety, r...

Marcy Marcfrm Lighten up dude, ain't nothing gonna happen from a bunch of us kiters talking on a forum. There will be folks out there trying to ban kiting simply becuase they don't want it around. Case in point my local spot. Theres a bunch of rich a-holes that live in an expensive development withi...
