Winter Snow Kiting

December 26, 2007

Well this Christmas season has been extremely busy with work, family and everything else I seem to find myself getting into to use up my spare time. I'm making a New Years resolution (haha) to try and not be so busy all the time! I can just hear Woodette saying " Oh, I'll find something for you to do", so I better be careful for what I wish for!

The Woody's had just a terrific Christmas this year and Woodette is now the proud owner of her first kite! It's a 6m Flysurfer '2Cool'. Quite the appropriate name for her I might add. We flew the kite yesterday on Christmas Day in light winds. It was perfect winds for her to get the hang of flying it. She's genuinely stoked about learning to snowkite which I think is pretty cool. My younger sister Guin flew in from Toronto to spend Christmas with the family again this year, which I think is pretty cool too!

Guin brought her 9m Monkey 'Griffin' kite with her!

Woodette showing us how it's done! You can see from this video (thanks Al) when one of the previous pictures were taken. Cool!


I trust you all had a very Merry Christmas, and our wishes go out to you for a happy, healthy, safe, enjoyable, full-on 'ride' into the New Year.

Have fun in life!!
