Question for Col

Col,
Just wondering if you were over in New Orleans admist Hurricane Gustav, would you be flying a 17m C kite, or would you consider the hurricane to warrant stepping down to a 15?

i was gonna stack the two together

Mind you at least i'd go out and not hide in the van, unlike some..

Just come back from two weeks in cyprus kiting every day in winds from 12 to 25knts, great fun although on one night i paid heavily and nearly passed out with dehydration.......

Tim the remnants of the hurricane usually end up over here so when its 4 knts you'll be able to go out

( i think i just Bit)

cheek of it! Well whilst you were in cyprus you missed an epic few days at rhosneigr 20-30 knts cross shore perfect wave sailing conditions.
I was hoping for 4knts but had to put up with the windy stuff, still at least it was proper cold summer weather, no namby pamby stuff like in sunny cyprus!
