[inferno]

Me and Wolfman are talking about picnic island from around 3:30 to 5:30. Wind will be against the tide which will be flying out.

[Skyway Scott]

I am thinking picnic too. :D

[inferno]

last i saw it should peak around 1pm and then start to die, so id rather not take a chance getting off work early at 4pm at it die by 5

I am losing confidence in today, but will still give it a shot.
At least we have Saturday.
Accuweather NEVER uses the windy symbol.
Check out the gusts and wind on Sat Nite :shock: 8) :D :twisted:

[Skyway Scott]

12 xbow I use in 16-30kts
9 if I had it in 20-38kts
7 xbow in 24-41+!! Bring it on baby! :lol:

To get to picnic island take westshore south past gandy and go all the way to the end. If you look on google earth its the far SW tip of the Interbay Peninsula with beach facing west. S, SW, NW, N winds are good, just try to check the tide because a lot of water moves along that beach during the large tides. If you've a N wind and outgoing tide you'll need a lot of wind. On a S or SW you can work upwind of the point and kite a beautiful flat next to macdill afb that local fisherman refer to as the community hole. Wolfman and Barrs did that the other day and said it was killer. Just don't go past the Off limit signs that are around the AFB grass flats or you may have some company like the coast gaurd. Big brother can see that boundary loud and clear from the traffic control tower at the base and when boats cross it they're on 'em in no time. Also wear foot protection due to some rocks just off the beach and a little glass here and there. :)

my 16m will work in 14-15 knot range, but id rather get worked on my 21m then have to work my 16m, and ofcourse i dont have a kite smaller then 14m.......
im working on it though, hopefully ill have one by hurricane time, maybe a 9m that i can ride to about 35 or so
