Julie,
Hi ...and aloha! I think it is cool too!!
I remember when i bought that kite ....i could not believe my lucky stars!! Your memory is perfect!! It's bright orange, medium red, bit of yellow,white...really nice color arrangement, has "J. PROCHASKA" written down the edge of the wingtip... still flys great!
I'm about 20 miles from Atlantic City, NJ.....lots of nice back bays + miles of ocean to kite in......most of the time i'm at a spot called Lakes Bay, trying to improve my skills cause i'm itching to get into the ocean waves by the end of the summer ....
Welcome to KiteForum!!! This is a real nice surprise hearing from you ( not too mention having one of your kites
)
Best wishes!! Hope someday to see you on the water!! Jane

Hi Jane...and Adam
GREAT to hear from both of you.
Yes, it's me...Julie Gilbert (formerly Prochaska) here.
Nice to hear some happy people on the kite forum. Things get a bit crazy here (on this forum) sometimes, and I haven't even been checking it out all that long!! But when people are nice, it's great!
Jane...I forgot that I wrote my name on that kite!!! Ooops! Sorry! Glad to hear it's still working great!
WAVES...now that's my absolute favorite! I guess I'm pretty spoiled here on Maui, but I love the California coast, too...and I definitely want to make it back to Hatteras... waves or no waves... that place is awesome!
If you make it out here to Maui, let me know...we'll head out to the waves here.
Adam...nice to meet you, too. Thanks for the kind words. Where are you from? Maybe see you on the water somewhere. I'll be traveling some this summer... not sure where yet.
Much aloha
Julie Gilbert

I just saw in one of the previous posts that you go to Hood River every summer. How come we have not met? Chris and I have a house about a 2 minute walk from Bettys!!! ...and we're there every July.
We'll be in Hood River again this summer...for the middle two weeks of July...and probably again in August.
See you there?
...and you are right...it is one of the most beautiful places in the world!
Aloha
Julie

Hello Julie!
Thanks a lot for your kind response!
It would be just wonderful to welcome you and your husband here by the Baltic Sea one day!!!
The last few years I have been coming back to my Polish home town of Sopot and I will be there possibly working with a sailing team this Summer.
There are both pristine hilly landscapes with clean waters as well as moderate towns all along the south-east coast of the Baltic Sea.
Very good food and a modern infrastructure in the towns are standard too.
The sea and lakes here are nicely warm in the Summer and with light to moderate winds this coast is definitely worth of a kitesurfing trip from May throu Oktober. Last year there was enough wind to keep my back sore most of the Summer
You will find hundreds of miles of sand beaches to the both sides of the Gulf of Gdansk – ie open sea beaches, bays and lagoons all made of fine sand dated back to the glacier epoch.
The coast here is mostly barrier dunes or high moraines covered with woods, flat beaches and shallow water. As a mediterranean sea it has no dangerous storms, tides or currents to deal with. Still there are good waveriding sites here.
Besides all that a few good sailors live or practice in Tri-City (Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia) like my skipper Karol Jablonski, an Admiral´s Cup winner.
Somebody like Julie and Chris Gilbert will get a ride on a yacht just like that and sailinging along the coast of the region you may happen to run into the Formula Windsurfing champs Dorota Staszewska and Wojtek Brzozowski relaxing there.
Of course we have an evergrowing bunch of kitesurfers too!
Respect and tolerance reign among the paragliding pilots, windsurfers, kitesurfers and sailors and we have liberal authorities and regulations on top of that.
You can reach Gdansk by plane via Warsaw and some other major European airports.
How do you like that, Julie?
Best Wishes,
Adam
