This Weekend

Kiters, I am hoping to be out for at least half the day on Saturday so call if your coming. I am booked for 1pm so I will be kiting early. I am also thinking of doing some a cool setup in the morning light so if your into getting some killer photos of yourself, I need a few stunt popsicles. Call tonight.

I also talked to Linda today and we have the use of her field this winter on one condition; I have to be there. She knows that I am a trained emergency responder and she feels better if I am there to deal with any injuries. So please, if you want to be out there, respect her request and we will get our access.

Thanks.

Blue Birds & Champagne

Left work today around noon to meet Barrett at Veterans Field (launch #2) for some warm-up runs. First time out this year, wind looked light but up high it was strong. Started with the 9.5m but within a half hour had to put it away, strong winds up high maybe about 25+km. Decided to pull out the 7m Montana, with wind changing from S to W, she took off like a rocket. The sun was out and the wind was a perfectly steady 25-30km. The power was whicked and the 8" of snow was good enough, speed runs and even boosted a few 6 foot floaters.

I would have to say today was my second best day with the 7m. The only thing missing was Andy!

Call if you can make it out Wednesday at all. Saturday early is all I can do right now.

Day One

Well we now have a few more members and had a chance to get out today. Even for an hour it was good to shake-off the dust. Pretty cold though with -35 windchill. I think this will be a great year, looking forward to some great days out and socials after with a good crew.

Go Time

The fields look good. Right now I will be riding from RR12 start, or the Veteran's Park launch (near the sliding hill). Linda's is no go until I get confirmation.
Please send me an email ASAP so I can update a phone list.

Cheers!

Well the Crossfield Kiting crew dropped in for King Andy's going away party on Friday. It was good to get together and I think it is a good start to our year. King Andy will be missed, who will be that european voice of reason, "why don't you just do it? it's easy!!!".

But really, we all wish Andy and Loretta a safe trip and good wind. Keep us informed of what you are doing and send an e-mail once in a while to brag about the heat and constant wind.

Cheers!

The King Is Leaving!

Hey guys, King Andy and Loretta will be leaving us on the 29th of October. I guess they have had enough of the winters here and are driving the "HUT" down to the East Coast of Mexico in search of sun, and constant wind. Come on out to our place and say SIANARA and have a few beers. They will be out around 6pm on the evening of the 23rd (friday). If you haven't been to our place in Crossfield, just send me an e-mail or call my cel (get the number from my Spindrift Photography site).

See you there!!!

VROOM VROOM!!!

Yes, one little early snowfall has a few of us waking up. Are you out there? Turn on your aggregators, the blog is up and running and we are cleaning the gear for the whitestuff.

On a sad note, we will be losing the King (Andy). King Andy and Loretta will be moving to the Mexican Coast for the winter to kite the wet-stuff. We will be checking in with them from time to time just to see how misserable they will be. Hah, suckers.

Stay Tuned!
