I cruised down to the Forgotten Coast last week to ride with a few of the Locals........found great conditions and wide open beaches.....caught three great days around 15-20..........We converged on Cape San Blas last Sunday....NW winds around 15 plus and the Panama City Beach Crew met up with the Carrabelle Crew.......8 kites up on the ocean side....7 of them Waroo's.
These kite have a huge range....there were four 13 meter waroo's up....one guy weighed 145, another 175 and another 185....I weight 220 and was on a 13 and stayed upwind with no problems......didn't get as many jumps in but still had power.
Spring Break is here....many of the college students did not foresee the need for a passport this year and had to come to Florida of Texas to party....
The new Crazy Fly's and Undergrounds are here and look great......Crazy Fly had the insight to build the same length board in two or three different widths this year......nice going....it works! The 137 X 44 is sick......ride one!
The new X-Lace foot gear from Dakine is in......nice set up.
Last Spring was Epic for us here in PCB.....Shell Island rocked.......let's hope it is another spring blaster in 07!
