URIs to Ping

The following services will automatically be pinged/notified when you publish normal or future timestamped posts. Not when you edit previously published posts, as WordPress does by default.

This plugin also fixes an issue with the default extended ping programming in Wordpress and pre-2.1 versions of Smart Update Pinger (it now includes the url of the new post).

NB: this list is synchronized with the original update services list.

Separate multiple service URIs with line breaks:

Ping log

These are the last 100 actions performed by the plugin. In reverse chronological order for easier reading (latest ping first).

  1. Kitesurf South Egypt Said,

    A Kiteboarding Paradise in the South of Egypt
    You’ll find a one-of-a-kind lagoon with the best kiteboarding conditions year round. Right in front of our new hotel!An undiscovered gem for riders:
    The lagoon is 1.3 x 4 km and is fully kiteable year round at any tide level.
    There are no windward covers, so the winds are constant. Leeward, the lagoon empties into a sandy bay. This makes it perfect for comfort and safety.
    Kitesurf training takes place directly at the hotel in this protected leeward bay. In the shallow beginner’s area, several courses can run simultaneously with plenty of space and no safety problems.
    For advanced users and pros, the rest of the huge lagoon is available without any barriers.

  2. Kitesurf Mexico Said,

  3. Kitesurf Mexico Said,

    Kiteboarding school Playa del Carmen ”(url=https://kitesurfmexico.com/en/)Kiteboarding Playa del Carmen(/url)
    Kitesurf Mexico is the only Kite School in Playa del Carmen that has a Private, Exclusive Beach with no Public Access in the heart of the Riviera Maya. just 8 Km. south of Playa del Carmen, inside the Punta Venado Caribbean Eco Park, 1990 hectares of Jungle and 2.5 Km. of beautiful pristine Caribbean Beaches.
    This area includes our school, which is on a bay that offers the perfecto conditions for Kiteboarding, free from tourists and other kiters. The spot offers the first 30 meters (90 feet) of shallow, calm water, which allows us to teach Kiteboarding under the best safety conditions, making learning this wonderful sport faster for the student.

    Usually, our kite lessons are dictated in periods of 3 hours per day, which can be taken during the morning or afternoon, depending on availability and weather conditions.
    The first hour of the course consists of an explanation of Wind Theory, responsible gear use, and the necessary safety methods and precautions for kiteboarding.
    After that, and using a small, short-lined kite, we begin to learn Kite Control on the water. This is possible thanks to the optimum conditions offered by our private beach, such as shallow, flat water. This way the student can learn how to control a real kite in low-power conditions that make learning easier and faster.

    The Kite lessons continue on water. The next step is learning how to control the movement of the kite, exploring the whole wind-window. The student does this while standing at waist-high water level, and always accompanied by a professional instructor.

    Once the student can control the kite on the whole wind-window while standing, it’s time to learn how to control the kite while in motion, to later on move on to “Body Drag” which means letting the Kite drag the weight of your body while you navigate in the desired direction. This is possible thanks to the control of the Kite obtained during the previous step.

    Finally, the student must learn to stand on the board using the power of the kite. This is called “Water start” and it’s the last step in the basic course.
    At this stage, the student is able to Kiteboard independently, even if only for a few meters at a time.

    Kite Conditions:
    Best Season: January, February, March, April, May, June, November, and December.
    Useful Wind directions: NE-E-SE-S, sideonshore el 80% of the time. Clean wind and clear waters, sometimes flat or with smooth waves depending on the wind direction.
