I'd say they're a little bit insane, but I bet it was fun for them. Jeeeezo......the one guy was lifted about thirty feet into the air. What a
freakin' thrill.
The saying, "When life hands you a bunch of lemons, make lemonade ..." holds true here.
I'm sure that I know those two.
We decided to hole up in Los Angeles and wait out the hurricane. Two other kiters were a day ahead of us and they decided to make a run for it and
try to get to La Ventana BEFORE the hurricane hit.
From their Facebook page, they didn't make it and had to spend four days in Loreto waiting for the roads to open. Why not go for it when you are
stuck in Loreto, have your kites, it's windy, and well within your skill level.
I'd be out in that in my cat but would be a little worried about "dead heads" thats what hurts at high speed !! K&T cool video..some us like to "SHRED"!!!
Wow! I can't imagine how they could avoid all the tons of debris that are in that water. We're talkin' mesquite limbs, cholla, cardón, palm fronds,
trash; many, many tons of debris.
Certainty is the child of ignorance, knowledge is the mother of doubt. Question everything!
I Watched them from my front porch. They were getting big air. You are right Tehag, Lots of caca in the water. Kind of dangerous, But I'm sure real
thrilling
Used to think it was exciting to surf after a storm even if the water was the color of Hershey's cocoa and debris looked like Lipton cup-a-soup. Until
30 yrs ago when I came down with viral meningitis from surfing after some rains (and became a patient on the same floor of the hospital where I'd just
gotten hired for my first RN job.) Through the delirium I realized this was serious stuff and not fun. No mas cocoa water for me ever since,
and I try to spread the word that it's really not worth the risk.
Even though these "guys" are really good and aren't submerging themselves like you do when dunking your head through waves when surfing, they've gotta
be exposed to some questionable stuff especially since they're right in front of a large pueblo.

...they're likely from the gorge,,,where Hanford nuclear mess flows through,,,so their resistance is nice and strong!!
I used to windsurf in the Gorge, I got tired of having a constant sinus infection. Hanford is bad, but all the agricultural and rain water runoff from
cities is more of an immediate problem.
