Today is Thursday.?? I was at work, going through kite sites and local wind, as usual.?? Then, around noon, my boss sent an email to my team.?? It say:
“It’s holiday weekend….. blah blah…… you can leave early….. blah blah…..”?? I powered down my computer, went home and headed to Dewey.
Ragden was there already working on his kite.?? Looked like he made some friends and didn’t need my?? help so I went out with my SA2 15M and huge Door board.?? Wind was light so, I was only one riding.?? Then it picked up and many were out there riding.?? Then it died again and I was only one riding…. get the picture??? Wind was chaning like that every 10 min.?? Lucky me, I had SA2 15M so don’t have to worry about light wind.?? When it picked up, I depowered and switched to a smaller board and no problem.?? At the end, I was the only one riding.?? The whole beach to my self, it sure was fun.
Ragden made a lot of progress.?? He pretty much knows everything he has to know to be a kiteboarder and from now on, only practice will make him a better rider.?? When powered up, he was actually “riding” that makes him an official “Kiteboarder.”?? He is one of us now 
So, who’s next??? LBJ, Todd, dillon, or tibi??? Come on, guys!?? If ragden can do it, then anyone can (hehe).
Anyway, we had a blast and congratulation to ragden to become a real kiteboarder.?? Now he needs a real kite

Hey, I will be doing it one of these days….but I will need loaner equipment, Brian>>>>>>>>? Sounds like a good time… I was going to go out to North Beach the other night,, “tuesday night” but at the last minute decided not too. I was going out around 7pm but the wind died….as it turned out there was a big rescue operation going on there on North Beach because three people not knowing about the strong tidal water there went out just after the lifegaurds left. Two of them drown and one made it out ok…..sad. so to you kite boarders::::be careful…..the people that drown wern’t kiting, just swiming..
Brian dude, did you depower your computer before leaving work, that’s awesome, depower the computer and fly the depower kite a little bit later.. It’s all about depower!.
Happy 4rth every one…
Congrats Ragden (Mike)!
I have to learn to fly depower kites first. I have also a new toy: a 10m Pulse2. I didn’t get to try it yet…too busy at work, but one of these days I’ll try some static flying with it.
Have fun!
Ditto for today (6/3)
Awesome kiting and dinner with Ragden and Brian. Hope the forecast is improve again and we get more this weekend.

Thursday was awesome. I had a blast. Chilepin, the link you posted doesnt seem to work for me. I am still recovering though. Used the heck out of some muscles that I was prepared for. Couldnt really get around on Thursday until I borrowed that big board.. Was a lot of fun though.
