Hello People Moving To San Francisco!

Please stop complaining about the wind and fog. If you don't like it here, you can always live in Walnut Creek, Livermore or San Jose. (You'll pleasantly bake at a mere 100 degrees during the summer.)

Rube Goldberg.

Seated kiteboarding in light wind in Goa! This kite-scooter, despite being an amateur-built and somewhat crude and heavy prototype, is a fast, incredibly versatile, easy to operate and amazing sail craft Designed for light wind and flat water conditions it is best powered by any light wind surf kite, the bigger the better.

Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle. There has to be a better way to get out onto the water than on that contraption.

Batoidea is a superorder of cartilaginous fish commonly known as rays and skates, approximately 560 described species in thirteen families. They are in the fish subclass Elasmobranchii, along with sharks, to which they are closely related. Rays are distinguished by their flattened bodies, enlarged pectoral fins that are fused to the head, and gill slits that are placed on their ventral surfaces.
