I still like kiting but not at all like I used to. Also now I'm a parent the urge to get myself killed has definitely waned so that's a limiting factor. Can't remember the last time I flipped upside down, unhooked is something I do by accident, and after a thousand years of kiting my broken collar bones, knees and ankles are all starting to hurt when pressed into service. BUT, what I really REALLY like the idea of is kite-traveling - huge downcoasters. I've not done much (see 'parenting' above) but being out at sea with miles of distant, empty headland for company is pretty good. Takes a bit of organisation but this is what I'm looking forward to next.

Graceful. you just need a new stabber t-shirt and stabber kite. These two objects will thrust your mind into the way it was years ago.

After 10 yrs of kiting this yr myself this has been an interesting read.
If it was windy I woulnt have my new god dam reading glasses on sitting in front of a glaring computer screen reading it

Have contemplated your topic of discussion myself last year but put it down to my right foot spending a total of three months in a cam boot on two separate occasions

Being repetitive certainly will help get there quicker (take the last three posts), have seen lots of people come and go over the years and no doubt many more will follow, doing a new disapline in kiting is like doing a different sport except you already have half the gear .

O and look at the seabreeze logo, wind and wave, that will surely brighten your day
