I'll stand or fall on my words alone please...
but I do enjoy being your post subject as well---good or even ill intended.
a flattery nonetheless
You know this pile of words you stand by is getting a bit large and in danger of killing you, don't you? Hmmm?
Weird thing is a lot them words are the same ones, and one that is missing lately, or a lot, is integrity, as you know integrity builds strong foundations and credibility.
Maybe stop attacking the player and just address the problem with the game??
(which you are quite good at)
We always knew you enjoyed a bit of flattery and attention, goes with being a cat in a costume I guess?

I'm thinking I'm right on topic.
Kite surfing; let's check...
Low kite definition request....check (topical)
a hole kiter's guide to shredding tropical storms ...duly noted. (topical and interesting)
Yup
On topic...
Thanks for the quote though
Isn't it Wonder Bread that builds strong bodies 12 ways ? (oops tricked off topic)
Now would be the time to define a low kite for all us lowing cattle, rick.
you see it's for the ones without the skills, they're the ones that really need to understand this whole low thing?
Don't you think?
regards
fo
thank moo
PS
OK,,,,
I'm a fair sort.
If rick wants to detach himself from attaching the whole "keep it low and go" to a dangerous wind solution / or even alternative for the beach...
that's quite enough for me...
Then never ever suggest such a silly thing again, and I'm fine with it. really, forget about it.
sweet....
question withdrawn...
carry-on...

A detailed overview of some weather considerations for kitesurfing and a more general approach to weather planning appears at:
http://tinyurl.com/5666bs
Just cause your in cud ("wind") doesn't necessarily mean it's ok to keep your head down and ride. Use your smarts and try to dial in the good sessions and dodge the bad ones.
So, heads up, don't just follow the herd

Anybody know any good cow kiting songs? How about cow kiting artwork? We should have a contest.
