From Dicember 1st until March 27th wind (more then 13 knts.) has been blowing without stopping in Bahia Salinas, Costa Rica, this mean that a kiter could have been kiting for 115 days without stopping….not bad.
Of course we had those 8-10 days with too much wind (5mt only, short lines and tiny board) but in theory kiteables by a hard core experienced kiter.
I was wondering if you guys know other location world wide where you can get these kind of records.
Windy season isn´t over yet but it will be difficult to bit this record until the next one from the beginning of November.
Come to take a look, see U in the water!

Pay for advertising, stop pimping your school!!!
Sorry, but lot's of places with wind, and actually have a nice wide beach, stuff to do at night, and a real kiters atmosphere.
Hmmmm, let me see, last year I was in Tarifa, Ceara (Brazil), Floripa, Cabarete and Fuerte. They all seemed to have some wind, I even "heard" a place called W OZ has a little breeze and even a thing called waves, at times..
Pimp elsewhere....

I think we also have a record year in our waters.
NO wind for as long as I can think back.
It's a major chatastrophy and I am wondering if I will remember how it is done when (if?) the wind comes again.
