Bayside slider session..... ch ch ch chilly!






Our first cold front of the season brought 26-32 mph wind out of the north. The crew headed over to 'the otherside' for a killer session and the christening of slider #2- a 16inch wide, 20 foot long fun box. And it was FUN. (can't wait to attach the second identical section for a longer slide). Welcome back to the Keys Noel! A great kick-off for a great upcoming season! Stay tuned for more pics.  Slider park is coming!

5/3/08 - Looking for waves at the reef!





      Today a few of us decided to take a ride to Alligator Reef Lighthouse in search of some waves. Not much wave action when we got there but it came up to @ knee to thigh high within an hour. The water is gorgeous! Crystal clear! It is just over 6 miles to the reef so we had a 31' boat with us for back-up.

SUP in the Keys!


Noel and Mike Metzger go for a paddle on a zero wind day. Crystal clear water made for a gorgeous day. Later they caught up with Chris, Mike and the Codester. That boy hangs ten all day long.

3/09/08 - When you need to get out, oTHErside!




  Captain Paul and Noel take some kiters for charter to the otherside. (code name for the secret spot) It was a day to remember. All had a good time and went away with a big smile. Paul is also the oTHErsides wakeboard coach and instructor. 

3/08/08 - Noel, Mike and Tommy do a 20 mile downwinder.




      Today a strong cold front came in and Noel, Mike and Tommy do a gulf side downwinder  in 25-30 knot winds. It was definitely a good time even tough Noel was lit on a 12m Rampage 2, Tommy on a 9.5m Rampage 2 and Mike on a 10m Vegas. We saw dolphin, sea turtles, some small sharks and alot of stingrays. 

3/01/08 - Cabrihna Demo at Anne's Beach w/ Damien Leroy



       Today the wind was light but plenty for a Cabrihna Demo with Damien Leroy . It was a great day for all. We tested the '08 Switchblades and converts. Amazing kites to say the least. 

2/27/08 - oTHErside goes to the Otherside!



    Today was a great day as a cold front came in and we enjoyed 20-30 knot winds on 9m kites. Waist deep water and super flat water make this kiteboarding paradise.
