Kite Bytes - Kiteboarding
Spanish Banks Kiteboarding Pictures Nov 26, 2005www.kitebytes.comI woke up this morning and had a MSN messenger message from John in Florida saying "Wake up, it's blowing at Jericho. Arouynd 9:30 I rolled out of bed and checked the wind and the Jericho webcam. Sure enough, it was blowing more than 20 knots. I then checked the temperature and tide information and while the tide was ok, the temperature was 6 degrees Celsius (42 degrees Fahrenheit). I decided that I was going to go to the beach to tune my new kite but there was no way in hell I was getting into the water when it's that cold and blowing hard. 3 days ago I was kiting in Florida and it was 23 celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit) and I was cold! I jumped on my beach cruiser bicycle and headed down to Spanishg Banks where I immediately saw lots of kites and bundled up onlookers. John was planning do visit Fort Dosoto, Florida today but the transmission went in his car. He's choked but at least he's not going to get too much better than me until he can get that tranny fixed :) Our other buddy Ron (from previous posts) is in the Dominican Republic at a wedding and is trying to find a way to escape for a few days and get to Cabarete. God Speed Ronny! I took some pictures today, I hope you like them and please drop me an email if you are in any of the phgotos so I can add credits. There were approximately 12 kites out at Spanish Banks today and Mark Leng and Sandro Di Segni did a down winder with Mark going to Kits beach and Sandro to English Bay in downtown Vancouver (above picture taken near the Burrard Street Bridge). High resolution photos of these pictures are available - email me if you want them at chris.breikss@gmail.com and I'll send you the download link. |
