Everyone wanted wind today....sorry.

There were a lot of kiters at Belmont today. All hoping that it was going to blow. Unfortunately nature was not on our side.

Klaus was one of the first guys on the beach today. Others that showed up were Luca, Naji, Henry, Bobby, Roberto, Jorge and Pilar, Dave and Bill, Todd, Chad and his girl friend, Gary, and Matt. This was just the "Trash Can Gang." There were many other West of us.

At one point Luca grabbed my camera and climbed up the lifeguard tower and took these two shots.
When you double click on this picture you can get a better idea of how many kiters there were today.

Thanks Luca, your shots really show that there were a lot of kiters that wanted to kite today.

Juliano, on the left, drove down from Marina del Rey hoping that there was going to be wind today. Rijk, on the right, got in a couple of days recently and was going to a soccer game today. He didn't care if it blew, but he was there to help us rig.

Jason and Dan were ready for wind today also. They both rigged their 15's and I think Dan also rigged his 13 for Kristin. All three were disappointed.

I brought my video camera hoping to capture some big jumps. Maybe tomorrow.
