you fellas know i never need much prompting
thanks, bill for your invite
----------------------------
first - look at the first minute of this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKB07kO5 ... re=related
our ocean here was just that wild --but the winds were even much more brutal --
about 40 mph-
my friend is an extreme nutcase --never should have been out there that day -
not with a surfboard -- and NFW with a huge kite and his surfboard --
anyway --i usually take videos of our local hero kite-surfers -
but THAT day --had sandstorms and salt water spray --
that would have murdered my camera-
so--the guy takes off --within moments -- he is at wind speed --
and getting the most incredible 25- 35 foot airs we ever saw --
even landing a few --
but --the winds were far too strong for him to have any directional control -
so - he was way out of site in about 3 minutes --
and no way to get back here --but to crash on the beach and walk all the way home !!!
------------------------------------------
none of us saw any action after that --
but he said --once he was a few miles away -- up by the huge private
oceanfront mansions --the conditions became perfect for him to land about 20 airs-
30-40 foot high !!!
" best day of his life "
---------------------------
anyway --- a short mile away from my trailer park -
lies ' billionaires row ' -
its a few miles of magnificent HUGE $$$ estates --
each with several acres on the beach -
and all with ulra-extreme privacy and security
( these spots sell for 25 to 40 million )
------------------------------------
often -- the owners rent them out - to wealthy 'important' folks-
who want some serious ALONE TIME-
these ' hidaways' have the best of all worlds --
a total private island atmosphere --
yet - on our mainland and 10 minutes from a major international airport
be right back
