South Padre Kiteboarding

Hello from South Padre Island, Texas. We had a great day of kiteboarding today in the most amazing kiteboarding spot that I have been to. Key West, Florida was good but everything is bigger in Texas including the sand flats. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of square miles of shallow water to kiteboard. Johnny and I are going up wind, for the most part, and finally, I think we can call ourselves kiteboarders. I bought a used Cabrinha Crossbow 12m to compliment my 16m Crossbow and I love it. I'm now looking for a bigger board because I'm a bigger guy and I was loving the Litewave 169cm that I was riding today. We have one more day of instruction tomorrow with Roberto who was a great coach/instructor. Details and lots of pics to follow when we get back as I can't find the USB cable to download all of the pics from today. The nightlife is a little funny here but we're going out tonight with huge smiles on our faces and a few minor bumps and bruises. It looks like I'm going to Nitinat next weekend... who's coming? This sport rules!
