State of the new forums
I see some people are a little bit overreacting in the forums... I see their point, the transition was everything but smooth, because the old site was getting really buggy, and most of the users were locked out from the site. The previous site was using a fairly complicated set up. There was two databases, one for the forums, one... more
Updated !
Welcome in the new Skypilot's website ! Lots of improvment, especially on user login , and new sections. In the transition, the old content has not been migrated, but we will try to set up a subdomain (something like http://www.old.skypilotkiteboarding.com/) if you want to access the previous site. The new site has been tested, but expect some minor bugs here... more

I've taken the drive down the Chuckanut drive to a beach called Banzai beach by the locals - nice place to ride on North Westerlies with or without a thermal push and it is exactly the same as... more
First Legal Jericho Session...
Well it wasn't exactly a stellar session but it was a good down winder soul session today. When i arrived at the beach hoping for an increase from 18 knots i was greeted with a drop to about 13 knots. Made for a nice long slow down winder to the jericho sailing club. It was great to be back out... more
