Okay, enough screwin' around. Let's do this!

Okay before anyone jumps all over me I know. I know I said I was going to stay on top of this blog through the summer. I know I said I'd do gear reviews and a photo segment and other stuff. What can I say?, I dropped the ball. Some things came up this summer that had me preoccupied. Some things fell through, I didn't get on the water like I wanted and didn't get to do a bunch of other stuff and as a result I missed out on some sweet summer blog entries. (sigh)


I guess that's just the way it goes. The best I can do at this point is say I'm sorry, I suck, and I'll try to do better this time around.

Besides, there's a bit of time before the season starts here so there is still time to do some of the things I promised. I want to do a photo installment to recap last season. I want to do a gear review or two of the stuff I use to participate in this nonsense. I want to do an installment about some of my views on snow kiting which might piss some people off. Trust me when I tell you that if they do get pissed they probably, no, DEFINATELY deserve it.

Yup, I got some bloggin' to do. I've got extra time on my hands right now so starting this November I'm going to try to get an "preseason" installment in every week until the season goes off then it'll be whenever I get a chance like last season. 

So stay tuned, I'll have something up by Friday. Really, I mean it.

I'm not kidding.

All Charged Up about Chargers Pt.1

Okay I know I've been slacking off on this blog nonsense.  What can I say? All this Holiday Cheer business sucks up a lot of time and on top of that we've been trying to get out and ride every chance we get.  The last thing I want to do some nights after riding is come home and do this blog stuff. Okay maybe that's not entirely true.  I have to admit on the rare occasion I see something or think of something I want to put in the blog and can't wait to get home and write about it.  But by the time I get home one of two things usually occurs. One, I'm too tired to start writing or two, I completely forget what I wanted to write about.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Okay enough of that, this is a blog about kiting and kites so let's get to it.   In this blog entry I'll try to describe my first impressions of the new Peter Lynn Chargers that I just recieved.  I'm not going to go into too much technical detail because I'm going to be

Well the season isn't carrying the momentum we hoped for after getting a jump start back in freakin November.  People are running around spouting "global warming" assuming these last two unusually warm months are because the Earth is getting warmer.  But we've been noticing that the spring months have been colder the last few seasons so it appears to me to be a shift in the seasonal cycles. At least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself.  Otherwise I might become suicidal at the thought that my snowkite seasons might be getting shorter. I've been playing with various Arcs that I haven't had much time on and cruising on my Coyotes (off road skates) as a substitute for skis and snow.  The Coyotes are actually a hell of a lot of fun but I use them rarely because they dig in a lot if the ground is a little soft and I don't want to tear up anyone's fields. But when the surface is firm they're a hoot. Mo and Jo Molly and

Low Speed and High Tech Pt.2

Kitestorm 2010 by Susan Staples Peter Lynns are phenomenal kites. Admittedly there’s a little learning curve when it comes to flying them but I challenge you to find anything that has such fine flight qualities. A lot of people like to spout off about how great their “XYZ” kite is compared to a Peter Lynn but usually when you ask them you find they’ve never flown one, only flown one briefly or only seen someone with minimal kiting skill fly one. At the same time people think I lack objectivity because I’m a Peter Lynn team member. My response to this is I ride for Peter Lynn because I ride arcs, I don’t ride arcs because I ride for Peter Lynn. Peter Lynns became my kites of choice well before I was asked to join the Peter Lynn team. I really believe they’re the most underrated performance kites out there and I really think the current incarnation, the Charger, in the right hands, can go head to head with anything. At least on snow I’ve found this to be the case. Moore Rez. But
