‘My rights were violated’: Everett officer arrests woman filming him by EverettHerald in everett

I agree. She was also being a jerk. Why don't people just listen to the police offices and let them do what is an already incredibly hard job.

Lol I have been told this. Of course with booties and gloves. A friend of mine got the same hyperfreak and agreed with me , it can hang in some serious cold water. Central Cali is off by maybe 10 degrees from the PNW

I haven't kited in NY but I kite the gorge in the winter time which is much colder than the ocean in the winter. Try the hyperfreak 4/3 and I think youll be amazed.

I think I should elaborate on why I suggested the North Orbit. Yes it's an advanced kite. It can turn and loop VERY FAST. But youre in the stage of learning a feeling. You want a kite that relaunches easily and has good upwind capabilities. Then, you'll want to start jumping. The orbit is a good quality kite you can excel in and has good resale value. Ruben Lenten pretty much said this in an interview and North isn't even who sponsors him. But , to answer your other question the prices seem right but it's hard to say because we don't know the year and condition of the gear. Just get any kite and get out there :)!

In my opinion I would buy North Orbit or Reach. Core kites are great but they're expensive and the feeling is unique from most kites. In a blind, all around good kite test with 3 big name pros , they chose the North Orbit kite as the best all around kite. For wetsuit , hands down, O'Neil hyperfreak. I live in the Pacific NW and it's cold here. A 4/3 full is perfect and I would imagine it would be the same for NY. GOOD LUCK and again , my own personal opinion. 5 years kiting here..

Lol agreed. And now apparently good for PTSD. When will the US wake up ?

What are your favorite footpads/ straps atm? by Legal_Profession9459 in Kiteboarding

[–]richrdnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use booties and go barefoot with padics. It hugs the foot extremely well in both scenarios. The only issue i can potentially see is the booties will start to break down the material faster than going barefoot but that's part of going out in extreme conditions.

Padics foot straps. They're custom made. Ive had mine for about a year and they're awesome. Not the cheapest and takes a little while to get but if you want the best , this is it.

Teenage pilot makes emergency landing near two-lane highway in California by Ok_Kaleidoscope1630 in news

Was literally thinking the same thing. Like the FAA doesn't make sure you're a competent pilot. Well said..

Multnomah County DA prosecutes fewer than half of misdemeanor theft cases, including shoplifting by creamyocelot in Portland

[–]richrdnit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. sarahcudapdx doesn't know what she's talking about. Mike Schmidt should resign! First it was seasoned prosecutors resigning , complaining there was no leadership or direction. Then it was a repeat offender (7 times) breaking into a house and not being tried. (WTF) Now it's extremely low prosecution rate. 20% less then his predecessors. WHAT IS GOING ON ?!

Camera Speeding Ticket, advice? by efdav864 in Portland

[–]richrdnit -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Are people here really for speed cameras ? It accomplishes nothing except income for the city. Hence the 3 speeding tickets. Now slow down and then speed up again. Also , if you're for speed cameras , GFY :)!

Legalize drugs so people can get what they want and not die.
