Desperate Kiter Trip

[Jacob Buzianis]

Though of who are desperate to go kite and have $150 to spend. Here a plan for your three or four days of steady wind kite trip.

-call in sick at work and tell your love one you need time off

-get four kiter to join you on 720 miles drive to Cali or the gorge to split gas money

-Wake up at 5am to pack up and meet everyone

-Leave at 6am

-drive for three hrs and switch driver every three hours

-get an afternoon session at 4pm

-ride til you drop

-go order $30 worth of pizza for dinners

-get grocery for breakfast and lunch

-camp out

-wake up at 8 am every morning

-do three 2 or 3 hours session ride a day

-on the last day, ride until 4pm

-Leave at 5pm to head back home

-each person drive about three hours

-home by 3am

-do this trip once a month from June til Sept.


You will get 8 or 10 days similar to Utah Lake North wind or Rush wind days. Those day in Utah you have probably spend 16 to 20 hours of driving back and forth by yourself depend on where you live in Utah and spent 60 to 80 dollars worth of after riding dinner. You will not go desprate anymore and ride 20 time better then you have ever riden before.

Anybody interested joining the Desperate Kiter Trip. Post it on the forum. Give your name, trip date you can go and which kite spot you are going.

Have Fun and Kite Safe,

That is the perfect getaway! I have done it many times but instead of wakig up at 5am to leave, you can just leave after work that previous evening, drive all night, get a couple of hours of sleep that morning and be on the water at 10:00am the next morning!

jake-

i'm in! i'm trying to convince the little dove that i need to go to the gorge. are you guys going over the 24th? give me a call and let me know the scoop. i'm going to lake michigan in august and i need some good riding before that. but, that is putting a kink in the trip fund. let me know when you guys are going and perhaps i can work it out.

I'm in. Gorge or Sherman Island? When?

[crdeputy]

I am interested in doing trips July 27 to 30, August 3 to 6 and 10 to 13. Any others available and interested in those dates?

ok, the DKT as jake is calling it has to be a SSDKT (super short desperate kiting trip) for me. i've got another kite trip planned early august. i'm game, but only for 3 days max. that would be jakes original plan- leave at 6 in teh morning kite that afternoon, kite the next day, kite the third morning and drive home that day. i would also have to limit my funds as much as possible. i'm game for sleeping on a tarp or board bag and waking up with the wind. big group pizzas and cheap ass food for meals.... so maybe it would be a SSDBDKT (super short dirt bag desperate kiting trip).

anyway, that's what i can commit too. sounds like it won't work if you guys end up going for longer. any other takers for a SSDKT? Sal? Rossburg? money wise i can't do it alone....

[lesvierra]

Mike, I might be in for something like that. I'll keep in touch.

[MikE mAy]

it;s a go! i've got funds, time off and the ok from the little dove. leaving this coming friday morning, or late thursday night. Yo La Tengo is playing for free thursday night at the Galivan Center- not a show to miss. anyway, travel is going to cost about $120 each way. i think i'm going to need to recruit a third person. so far, it's Sal and myself meeting bill and jake and whomever else goes in the RV. Sal and i would leave sunday in time to get back to salt lake.

i have no idea where to camp, ride, etc. i'm all for going but need a third person to split the gas. Jason? Les? Todd? Mike? come on guys!

[lesvierra]

Mike, I was so close to being able to go. Then the wife reminded me about the power sprayer paint rental this weekend and time to start the remodel of one of our gutted houses. Man, I hate when that happens.

My version of the DKT. Buy the biggest kite/board combo, go to the salt ponds or LPPs. Bring a big jug of water to rinse off the salt & filth; sleep in my own bed with my wife; repeat.

Seriously, I am up for a DKT in the second half of August. I am willing to drive.

10:23 PM - Jake, Billy, Cosy and I (spencer r), just heading through northern Utah, nearing the 15 - 84 junction...
The next 10 days are going to be sweet!!
WOW - this RV gets great gas milage.... is 5 mpg good? I think that DKT will be a bit more money than originally proposed.. but we will get to kite, so all is good.
