Greetings from Oahu guys, sorry its taken me so long to send a message.Have been staying at Kailua and have kited this great place twice wind is about 15 to 20 knots mostly 16 meter kites and 12 meter kites water is crystal clear and warm as with huge turtles everywhere.

The kiting scene in Kailua is mostly strapless surfboard riding exactly the same as the Mark Shinn dvd awesome.Moks is unreal reef with a great surf break mostly 9 meter kites with some 12 meter kites and Naish kites rule over here, as for the food those that know me know I love my food but the yanks leave me for dead as I am yet to finish a meal over here, there just too big, anyway guys of to Moks tommorrow for another epic session , legs are saw hands have blisters all over them and Im sunburnt but its a 25 knot nor easter so I guess Ill have to go.

See you all soon in the Bay I cant wait.

Hey Danny boy good to hear from you -- have been waiting for the SMS but I gather phone system doesn't work so well from there.
Sounds like you're havin a great time. Hope you've been cracking big air. How is menace managing with his back problems?
Don't forget to check out Pearl Harbour - I want a full report when you return.

You left us with a bit of wind on the Bay mate - have had a few South and SE 20/25 days and one monster day ( 6hr sess ) when she hit 30/35.The 10 was magic. NE has also kicked in for us on 3 occassions. KKK delivered the goods.. Water temp still warm here but still having cooldays. No sunburn on the Bay yet... but there is a rumour we will see sun on Friday George says you should have more holidays .... he got to kite 5 days in a row since you've been gone.
Have you tested all the new Ravens yet. Hope you picked up your new o7 12m.
Keep us informed about your adventures.

cheers

The new kites are out but I have not tested any kites as they are quite expensive here so I will wait till I come home.Justins back is holding up okay the first day we went out he had to rest it for a day and then he was fine.

The wind blows 24/7 the hurricane screwed things up a little but the trade winds have returned, we had wind everyday bar three days beacause of that hurricane , good to hear you guys have had some good wind, anyway the car is packed and we are off to Moks , see you soon King Col.
