Hi Elena et al
First of all, Elena, if you're looking for people to go kiteboarding with in
the NY area you should join the NYCKitesurfers group here on Yahoo groups.
There's a very large and vibrant kiteboarding community in this area, and
there are always people looking for others to hit the water with. That group
has many more members than NEKS and has way more traffic. Also wanted to let
you know that you should consider flying down to Hatteras. What with the
price of gas and all. Airtran has very cheap flights from LaGuardia to
Newport News (which is then a 2 hour drive from Hatteras). My girlfriend
and I are going down the same weekend as you are. We booked our flights for
$120 roundtrip. I know she's looking for other women to kiteboard with
around here.
best
-Juri

it is a 10 hour drive. So it is a weekend thing. leave Friday afterwork come
back Monday early morning. We can take an overnight bus and I can ask
someone over there to pick us up and we can rent a car there. The individual
lesosns are 200 but they are well worth it. You get at most 2 ppl in your
group and full jetsky support. If you can't make it now you should definetly
go sometime in the future I had a blast.

cost is the biggest thing. I might be able to get a car from a friend. Ive
never been out on the water, ive only been on land, but i would be
interested in a lesson. How much do they cost usually? The other question is
if it is a one day trip, or is it too far? How long of a drive is it?

Does anyone live in the city and meetup to go kiteboarding somewhere. Just
came back from a camp in OBX. Can only go one way for now, so going back for
a refresher the weekend of the 18th, but after that would love to go with
people locally. I would be interested in renting a car and carpooling up to
NC the weekend of the 18th if I can get three people to come with me,
otherwise I'll take a bus. http://www.realkite boarding. com/
There is a girls camp that weekend and I think a zero to hero one, plus just
lessons. Nice laid back atmosphere and I think camp rooms that are not
terribly expensive.
Let me know if you are interested.
