Fu*k Paul, I mean Jesus, now bay area's best kept secrets are out in the open, I can't believe you would do this to us after all we've been through. I just feel so violated. I can just see people showing up at the spots with no respect, no beer speaking languages I've never heard of. That's it, I am never kiting again and it's all your fault :shock:

Paul and everyone else,

Yes it's true, the forecasts are totally correct.....the season @ sherman is over, it's not worth the drive any more, there is more bacteria now in the water then ever making sinous issues worse, it's getting really cold, the bugs are out to get you, you need at least a 14m kite to have any fun............no more kiting there for the year.

Time to leave the island to the duck hunters and jet skiers.

Get some, Z.

AMEN! Reverend. may the '07 Sherman Island season Rest in Peace.

see all you guys next year. have a great winter.

BTW, i heard Dillon Beach is the place to be. i think kite adventures has a trip going there now with a large capacity tour bus, complete with a shark chumming kiting adventure, it's called the 'fly fishing for sharks' tour.

Hey Paul, the Bulldog.
No disrespect to your freedom to post anything on the forum. This is a "free forum". In the age of internet, cell phones, and web cams, we cannot stop the overcrowding of areas with the increasing kiting growth. Surf cams have made driving up or down the coast more productive and save many skunked sessions. Of course, saving our gas resources as a side benefit.
Yet, for those learning the sport, getting to know the local riders, understanding area guidelines, this comes only from first hand experience, not from reading it on the internet(IMHO).
So go ahead and share all the info you want with the BAK. No worries.
I'm sure we have crossed lines in the water at some time. No point in making enemies. Kiting is too much fun.

BTW, typing "Grow the F-- up" is not nice to say to someone. You hurt my feelings. Boo Hoo.

We all try to be nice around here. Just like on the beach. Unless someone is a complete d%ckhead. Then we launch retie their kite lines while they're not looking and launch them into death loops. :twisted:

It says 10M, but it's really a 9.

Wow... How long do I have to kite and how good do I have to be before I can hang out with you guys? I soooo want to be in that van! By the way Dewey, was that shot taken before or after the shark bit your dick off? Sorry I'm just not feelin it this year. Man I can't even ride through the pack up to the islands (Sherman) with out gettin mean mugged by some arrogant asshole that thinks he has the right of way! One of the reasons I got into kiting was because of the people but this year it's gone. It feels like I'm standing in line at a crowded chair lift skiing. For God's sake, spread out! lighten up and chill!. There is more water on this earth than land! Luckily(this year) there is plenty of wind for everybody too.
