| 05/08/2008 | WD | Kite | Cab Convert 9m, Aggression Something, Lunacy w/out fins | Phil, Todd, Geoff, Jeff, PK, other. Quick after work session. Not really into it. BnFed mostly. Fearing the knee again which is bad. Did a few little unhooked things to get past it. Convert is a nice kite, Aggression board super light, finless Lunacy is not a good choice :). | 8 |
| 05/11/2008 | Nauset to Chatham Light | Kite | REV 13, Misfit 127 | JE, Todd, John, BB; Kirk, PK, Geoff aborted mission, they are smarter people than us. Craziness. Biggest waves I've been in by far. 1st tack disaster was a knee shaker. Watching JE on same wave 100s yards away crazy. Good stuff. | 9 |
| 05/18/2008 | Kalmus | Kite | REV 13, Lunacy 129 | Rode the backside with Santi & (now married) Jochem, funny he kites just as good married as single. JK, Stevo, CJ, others at Kalmus proper. Nice session. Pure butter in a safe to throw anything spot is fun! | 10 |

| 06/01/2008 | RedRiver | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129 | Jerry, Peter, Todd, Matt White, Dennis. Aborted mission to S. Monomoy. Odd day, wind degraded the further from shore we rode. Died at Hardings. Geoff thanks for the ride to retrieve JE's van. Back to RR for some decent riding. | 12 |
| 06/05/2008 | Mayflower | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129 | Dennis, 2 dudes from RI, 1 from SanDiego. Challenging conditions for the Lunacy. Voodoo chop, gusty changing wind direction. Still fun. Almost getting the back-to-blind (hooked in). Need to work on that more. | 13 |
| 06/07/2008 | Area49 | Kite | REV 13, Lunacy 129 | Santi & Jochem. Nice lil downwinder. Perfect for trying stuff. Back to blind getting a lil closer, hopping to blind and passing the handle now (not since 06), indy glide one handers. Super fun. Nice lil chat with Canadian fisherman who said we made his day. | 14 |
| 06/13/2008 | Chappy | Kite | REV 13, Lunacy 129, Nobile skim, Litewave 133, SS Fuse 151 | notTheTodd in town. Headed to Chappy as it was only spot with wind. Peter, Tim and Dave there. Maginal wind but we made the most
of it. Lunacy proving it is a light wind machine for Todd. I rode the skim. Fun time.

| 06/20/2008 | Forest | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129 | Luke and Desiree. I missed the downwinder with JE, PK, Qball & Billy. But had a nice little session at Angry Cove. Ended up at Hardings and walked back along the shore. Shorter walk than I thought. | 18 |
| 06/21/2008 | Forest | Kite | REV 13 & 9, Lunacy 129 | JK, Geoff, Bill, JE, Bernie, Kathleen, Luke, Des, but no Timmy. Overpowered on the 13, traded to 9m. At Forest for a bit then ventured to Stage Harbor. Super nice slick, worked on a bunch but not really gettin any better, must be the gear. REVs are great but Fuels for wakestyle are the way. Lots of kites at Hardings, no longer the secret spot it was. Thanks to Karen & Jim for the ride back. | 19 |
| 06/30/2008 | BigK | Kite | Fuel 11, Lunacy 129 | JK, Frankie. Gusty but nice session. Rode Timmy's Fuel, great for wakestyle but REV is better all-around. Mostly on backside but a bit at Stevo's Great Isle slick. Very gusty there. | 20 |
| 07/02/2008 | BigK | Kite | REV9, Lunacy 129 | JK working on pop. Mostly backside riding again. Such a nice slick. S-bends are not so good as of late, but finally figuring out how to stop the kite from downlooping. Nice session. | 21 |
| 07/03/2008 | 1st Encounter | Kite | Fuel 11, Lunacy 129 | Sweet sunset downwinder with Jim Carswell, who rode my 9m REV. Perfect conditions for the 11 Fuel. Worked on a bunch of unhooked stuff, tantrums, raley to blind, back to blind, indy glides, s-bends. Finally back to landing the raley to blind consistently but in new direction (to protect knee). Jim did well, rode toeside and was stoked about that. Bayside downwinders rock. Fireworks for long walk back | 22 |
| 07/13/2008 | SoutBeach | Kite | REV 13, Lunacy 129, Nobile skim | Took the OuterMost ferry to South Beach to meet Jerry, Janice, Luke, Desiree. Rode ocean on skimboard in nice lil cove downwind of launch; light wind but enough to get out and ride a wave back in. Switched to sound side, riding towards North Monomoy, where wind was stronger. Nice Day! | 23 |
| 07/18/2008 | Forest | Kite | REV 13, Lunacy 129, Nobile skim | Philip, Todd, Mark?. Nice late day after work session. Skim for a bit, then TT as wind came up. Todd doing some cool flippys with the Placebo. Very cool. Greenheads were out in force post session. | 24 |
| 07/20/2008 | Hardings | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129 | Thought I was going to miss a windy weekend but eeked out two sessions (Fri and today - Sunday). Big thanks to Timmy who texted he was on the way. Rode with Timmy, Joe_knee, Lee and the infamous NETO! Haven't had the pleasure of riding with Neto since Hatt. Great session, but can't land nothin. Ocean was super cold and scary looking. Good jumping and toe2toe backs off small waves. Killer. Thank you Timmy! | 25 |
| 07/27/2008 | Forest | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129, Nobile skim | PK, Geoff, JK, Luke, Des, Scott. Nice day! Skim then powered on TT. Geoff with some nice one footers. Upwinded to Wychmere Harbor, blasted back. | 26 |
| 08/04/2008 | Chapin | Kite | REV 13, Nobile skim | Very light, but got some rides on the skim. Haven't been to Chapin in a while, such a great beach. Ready for the northerlies to return! | 27 |
| 08/17/2008 | Forest to A51 | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129 | Very sweet day. Dropped PK's van, launched at Forest. Tons of kites in the Chatham zone: PK, TImmy, Santi, Geoff, more and the Boston crew: Johnny D, T, Neto, DD, etc. Rode across to MonoMaui which was phenomenal. Btw, N/S Monomoy split, got stuck in stinky pond. Tried ocean but no waves. Back inside N Monomoy for DW to the Light. Back to outside for final blast to shore. Super nice day. | 28 |
| 08/20/2008 | Mayflower | Kite | REV 13, Lunacy 129, Nobile skim | JK, thanks for the wake-up call. Low tide, powered on the 13. Nice to be back on the north side. JK going titanic. Good small waves to slash. Lots of beachgoers arrived like ants from an ant hill. Guards closed the water b/c of bacteria count. Teenager wants to take my gear for a spin. Good day! | 29 |
| 09/01/2008 | Chapin & Cole Rd | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129; Rev 13, Lunacy 129, Nobile skim | Morning session at Chapin with at least 28 kites up. Afternoon solo session at Cole Road. | 30 |
| 09/07/2008 | Chapin | Kite | REV 13, Lunacy 129, Nobile skim | Remnants of TS Hanna. Looked like a bust but was very nice for a short session. JK, Phil, Matt Fioretti. Super glassy waves and perfect wind. Died off a bit but got the skim out to keep the session going. | 31 |
| 09/10/2008 | Chapin | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129 | Nice morning session. Jim Carswell doing well staying upwind. JK, Geoff, Holly. Hour after high tide is by far the best time at Chapin. No JE ? | 32 |
| 09/12/2008 | WD | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129, Nobile skim | Solo pond session til Ted joined me towards the end. Very nice session, alternated between TT and skim. Super fun. Cold and a little rainy. Stryka was barking on every jump, good boy. | 33 |
| 09/14/2008 | Hardings | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129, skim | Ted & Timmy. Light at first, used the skim, then picked up enough for the TT. Stayed next to the channel (escalator with the tide). Super nice kickers. Timmy TDing with some huge back-to-blinds. | 34 |
| 09/19/2008 | Nauset to Chat Light | Kite | REV 9, skim | Downwinder with Todd, Peter, Barry, Geoff, Mike, Jon Modici (sp). Nice session. Stayed on the inside having fun on foam mattress and small reformed waves til new break. Then fell 20 times trying to get out of shorebreak off of north island. North Island vertical wall was fun for zero gravity walking... | 35 |
| 10/06/2008 | Mayflower | Kite | REV 9, skim, Lunacy 129 | Philip and a few others. Quick lunch session. Very onshore with incoming tide. Spent most of time on the skim. Tried Philip's quad surfboard - still not liking the fin drag feeling. Oh well. Good sandwich after also, Peterson's rocks. | 36 |
| 10/09/2008 | Hardings | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129, skim | Very nice fall day. Lots of kiters for Hardings, mid-week, mid-fall. PK, JE, Todd, Timmy, Netto, Elyse, Kathleen, Billy, Miguel and a bunch more. Yokie and I shot the inlet next to cockle cove. Then out to Monomaui for some small waves. Downwinded through the flats for some good unhooked to splat. Then back for a short skim session. Super good time! | 37 |
| 10/13/2008 | Light | Kite | REV 13, Lunacy 129, skim | Jerry, Luke, Desiree. Light wind session. Rode the skim in front of the light, in the stinky pond, then upwind to North Island. Lots of friendly seals. Skimmed the current river coming over the sandbar at North Isle flats, standing wave_ish. Nice sesh, but water is getting cool....oh no how much longer will the season last? | 38 |
| 10/18/2008 | Lecount to Chatham Light | Kite | REV 9, Lunacy 129 | Jochem, Santi, Ted, Jeff Krug. 18 mile adventure. Light at first. Jochem had a few mishaps, Santi blew out his knee. Nice surf at Coast Guard and just after Nauset. Nauset Inlet high tide rides over the marsh to Fort Hill were unique. Shorebreak was a challenge. Good ride, was it the last 08 session? | 39 |
