Ted commented on Josh's blog post 'sat was wicked!!!'

I took Clay's 11M out for a run at first, thinking my 9 might not be enough but then it kicked in so I grabbed my 9 and it kept blowing and I hung on. Martin went out on his 5 as I was leaving.

Ted replied to Ryan Tyndall's discussion 'Turkey Point Tuesday'

It was great to ride with a few of you even though most of you were packing up after riding ALL DAY LONG (unlike me). Good stuff. Until next time...

Almost completely off topic

I just had to post this photo of me riding this wave produced by FlowRider. The thing was on display at the Ex. What a rush. I guess my experience on a kiteboard and surf board came in handy because a lot of the other people trying it had real trouble getting up and riding. It would be cool to have in your… Continue

Near perfect

I would have been content with 16M cruising but it turned out to be great 12M conditions at Port Weller tonight (Tuesday). Rock solid. Had to depower the kite a bit. Some nice wave faces at a couple of the sand bars closer to shore for ripping and slashing. Some nice swells farther out for big boosting. A local guy had tried earlier with his 16 and gone home then he came back for the fun with his 12. There was still a bit of a breeze when the sun went down.

Port Weller Friday

Port Weller was good today (Friday). The westerly direction made it just enough side on for some breathing room from the beach. A few riders but not too busy. Satisfying overall even though a bit up and down. When I arrived at 4 the wind died a bit so I rigged my 16. Then it picked up... so you should always have somebody at the beach pumping up a big kite! I was the last one leaving at 7 when a local guy arrived. His wife drove to meet him at the beach and launched his kite for him. Nice! What… Continue

Turkey Tuesday

Rocked Turkey Point for a nice, solid ride on Tuesday night. Beautiful side- to side-onshore direction from the north east. And mild: I felt over-dressed in a steamer. Rode almost till 9 o'clock!

There is a virus that went through hotmail. It accesses your contact list, then deletes everything in it. I stopped using that email account because I was getting over 140 emails a day that were junk. Sorry about that.

At 1:47pm on October 25, 2008, John Verbakel said…: LP should be great SAturday. I'm home right now and it is sunny and windy out. Yesterday afternoon LP was great. Dead onshore wind and solid 12m day. Tomorrow should be nuclear. I hope my 9m will be small enough...otherwise....I'm a spectator on the beach.

At 9:53am on September 23, 2008, Craig said…: thats great to hear Ted! it's nice too see guys pushing their level of riding and progressing rather then just going out and mowing the lawn (ie. going back a forth all day). next time were out together i will follow you around a bit while you trying them and i'll give you a few pointers to make sure you stomp them!

At 11:05pm on July 3, 2008, Ted said…: Awesome. That'd be great. I wonder if Turkey Point might fill in on Saturday.
