Ras Sudr is hopefully good

I looked into it recently and concluded that Ras Sudr was a good place -- reliable wind, and an authentic rather than concrete jungle feel to it. Booked to be there over the four days of Easter. Delighted if anyone else came over at the same time. :lol:

Nearest kiting to Palm Springs?

I have to go to a conference in Palm Springs soon. Travelling from the UK but still planning to bring all my gear. Golf is on offer, but I would rather stick a chopstick in my eye. Where is the nearest kiting anyone would recommend? Shane and Brian at Calikites have helpfully suggested Long beach. A...

On a windy winter day in Vancouver, Canada it is like the Ocean Rodeo Army with a solid majority of the riders equipped with some form of the O.R suit. I don't want to start a flame war but the bit I don't get is why skypilot is making out like Vancouver is cold in winter. :) I was born and grew up...

Ras Sud over Easter

I am heading out. Yay. Anyone else on the board there at the same time?

Can't wait.

Any suggestions on best kite sizes for this spot? Current quiver is 06 Vegas 12m and 07 Rebel 10m and a 135cm Dragon.

Try Jericoacoara, Brasil

I have not been to Cambuco but I spent 3 weeks in Jericoacoara in December 2006. I thought it was a magical place. I spoke to a number of people who were travelling down the coast of NE Brasil and almost all of them said Jeri was, taken in the round, a better place than Cambuco. It is a bit quieter ...

Just for the score, I have had several instances of my 10m 2007 Rebel dropping out of the sky from the neutral zone. Twice in Jericoacoara Brazil when we had strong consistent wind but I let the back lines go a little slack by bearing off as I came into the beach. Several times in Swansea Bay in gus...

I agree it would be good to have a standard.

It would be valuable to have input from red/green colourblind people though. I don't know anything about it but I speculate that they might prefer solid black on the right and red on the left?

Jericoacoara 4-21 December / share 4x4 transfer?

Have booked a winter trip to Jeri arriving 4 Dec and leaving 21 Dec. Yay! Anyone there at the same time? Anyone want to share a 4x4 transfer from Fortaleza. It would be fun, less expensive and better for the planet! My flight into Fortaleza arrives 11.45am on 4 Dec. My flight out leaves at 15.10 on ...
