thanks guys, will keep doing research .. as mentioned, I've been out of the loop since the 04/05 gear season and I take it there are quite some improvements in that department? I especially hear things about massive wind ranges, kits wanting to stay aloft even at very low wind speeds and easy relaun...

Hey BK, thanks for the offer, but I'm not quite ready to buy . I need to gather some info from people who know as to what is suitable for snow and what not .. so far I'm tempted to buy foils just for ease of setup etc. but I'll keep you in mind!

Evnin .. so, it's been a while ... but I'm sorta trying to get back at it .. albeit not in Victoria but Northern AB this time .. Are there any among you who snowkite and are willing to share some info regarding gear with me? On that note I'm also interested in buying 2nd hand gear .. Looking for kit...

not sure whether this is the place to post this, but I have a 4Runner for sale .. pm me if you're interested ..

holly molly .. that story just made my stomach churn .. you went to the bottom four times and everytime regained consciousness in the nick of time to get another breath? I dare say you had a few more than just one guardian angel sitting on your shoulders .. I wear a wetsuit or drysuit with an impact...

see, I kinda settled for the surfboard after I didn't let wakeboard count .. that was at Question 29 too .. but, well, it's really still not a kiteboard .. I think I beat the dark side ..

ok, that just robbed me of 20min of my life .. nice ...

wooh wooh .. when's the Nitinat event happening? Did I miss a date shift?? Is it still the 20-23 or has that changed??? Please advise! Don't want to be missing that!!!

Hey Grant

It be great to chat over beers .. maybe we can salvage some of your stuff and 'build' a movie? How do I get in touch with you?

Matt

Hey Grant, thanks for the tips .. I guess there is quite a bit of risk associated with this .. not only 'salt-water' but also the g-forces .. hm .. Did you use a bullet-cam which you glued to your helmet or did you put the whole thing up there? Would love to see your footage sometime .. mathis@uvic....

Aloha .. Any video camera pro's out there that know something about miniDV cams and their capabilities in terms of action sport filming? I want to buy and matchbox miniDV cam and sway between the Sony DCR109 and the Canon Optura 500. They're quite different in terms of price and maybe one of you has...

ouch, I can feel the mockery .. guess rookies deserve that .. eh?

Hey, anyone online on right now? Is the wind going to pick up, will there be kiting going on this pm (Sunday, Oct. 24)??

I'm hoping so, have my eyes on either IV beach or Dallas Rd ..

Would be great to know if anyone else is heading someplace ..

Mathis

hey man, that sounds like it's worth it for next weekend! right on .. do you have any tips regarding which weather stations to monitor for Nitinat?

Matt

Is Nitinat still blowing or what? Wondering whether it's worth heading up there next weekend (Sept. 18/19) ..

advice highly appreciated!
