Mahanna

Finally got some time to post some pics of our daughter Mahanna.  Of course Raley had to show up in one, he is quite protective of her.

Kiting, Kite Beach Maui

A trip back in time.  Kite Beach is the first place I learned how to kiteboard.  Can't say I really was able to enjoy it last time I was there since I looked like this

but now I look a bit better :-)

A beautiful day of 10kt wind, but no jumps since I am still recovering from my pulled hamstring

Karl meets the legendary Jimmy Lewis

Thanks to the guys at REAL Kiteboarding I got a chance to meet Jimmy Lewis the legendary kiteboard and surfboard shaper.  We went up to his shop on one of the many days without wind since the Trade Winds decided to abandon us :-(

Welcome to the land of Jimmy

Jimmy and Karl chatting it up

Kiteboarding in Mexico

Okay haven't had time to post lately since I have been doing a lot of posting over at my e85 project, so I thought I would give an update here.  Also haven't had much time to kiteboard given all the work on my new venture, but I did get a chance to kiteboard Los Barilles while I was in Cabo.  I really liked both places.  Barilles was cool because you could drive right out on the beach and go kiting.  Met a couple of people who just drove their campers out on the beach and stayed for a few months!
