Utah Windriders Association

Just a friendly, and hopefully helpful, couple of tips
about the hot weather and bladder kites......

#1-If you keep your kite in your car in the heat of summer
there is a risk of the glue between the nipple and the bladder
getting soft, and a leak is possible.

This can also happen to dark colored, main bladder (Slingshot) kites
if left on the beach to long.

#2-If you keep the plug in the nipple, in the heat
it may streach the nipple, and a leak is possible.

if this happens,
put a tie wrap around the nipple, without the plug in,
and leave for some time.
It should tighten up the nipple.

The info above is from kiteforum.com

P.S. Any update on ULSSB beach access?
Does small beach, = large crowds of non kiters?

marty-
i was there on sunday and the beach is essentially unchanged from last month or so. there were some people camping nearby but the launch was uncrowded. the wind was too light. ryan and chris rode earlier on 25's. did you go to sulphur on sunday? i heard it was good and one kiter was out. pray for wind. jason

Jason,
Kiters don't belong at Sulphur.
Offshore,
Fences,
light poles,
Signs,
Gusty, big wind holes.
