Thanks for the tips...will join the other group. Separately, I have a
car and will drive out east in Long island from the city to kite.

Heading to Port Jeff on Saturday and will head out on Sun and Monday
too. Will chose location depending on winds and wind direction. If
anyone wants to make a trip give me a shout. I also know some guys out
in LI who offer classes at pretty competitive prices. Email me at
fouad.ahmed@...

Happy Kiting!
Foo
