I’d be interested if the winds are good there. I live in Houston.H2Ofriendly wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 8:32 pmInterested in kiting on Lake Buchanan? I may have a proposition for you. As you may know even though it is the best place close to Austin, it is hard to find a launch place if you don't have a boat. We sail/ski here regularly and have a place on the water to reach the islands to launch. The lake can be temperamental but not full of holes and swirls like Travis or Pflugerville. When the winds are southerly they are usually steady due to long uninterrupted runs over a large area. The only problem is that I don't really know how to kite and I got used kite gear with old school kites falling appart. I want to buy a new one but I dont know which one to get. I got one lesson in Corpus and was able to stand for a few seconds. I am looking for a buddy to teach me how to kite while I provide boat/jetski to get to launch places and to support us. I would prefer someone who can control their attitdes/mouth as I may have my older kids joining us to support us on a boat or jetski.
How often do you see kites? Riding twintip or foil? And how often do you get 15 knots?
I'd say 15 knots is there around 30-40% of the time. As we progress in the summer it gets slower and more unpredictable. Never saw hydrofoil here. It really got popular in the last 2 years or so. I think it is because there is now a guy from Austin teaching here on weekends.jakemoore wrote:How often do you see kites? Riding twintip or foil? And how often do you get 15 knots?
