'Tis the Season

The wind has been good lately with only a couple of days last week that weren’t worth flying. Several of the kiters that were here for the holidays have left and others have arrived. Below is a photo of Stuart and Scott.

Both are regulars to San Carlos and were here for a while. Last year Stuart, who is from New Mexico, was still a beginner and this year he is throwing back rolls. Scott has been in the sport for a long time and has his own unique style – very smooth. He uses two line kites and a big board.
We all love it when he is here because he is always yelling encouragement to reach for the next level, and has the knowledge to explain how to achieve it. We miss him when he isn’t here. He has already returned to Oregon and will be going to New Zealand shortly.

That's me in the picture to the left, throwing one of the few tricks that I know.
