Xmas DP at EB
 
All of my kids have reached the age where they would rather sleep in than get up at the crack of dawn xmas morn to rip open their gifts. I was planning to hit EB at O:dark thirty tomorrow. I've got to head back to the house by 10:00 or so. Who is in?

I may have a reasonable shot at it until about 10 or so, as well.

JoshTaylor 12-24-2006 01:32 PM

i'm opening my presents tonight lol.. so tomarrow i'm free all day:D

i'll try to get there early.. maybe 7:30ish

Eb ?
 
that would be Desoto on the eastern faceing shore?

Unimog Bob 12-24-2006 04:36 PM

Thats right, its not that we're trying to talk in code just lazy I guess. If the forecast holds it should be good from predawn till around 10:00 AM once it starts going west it gets iffy. You could always move to Big beach or North beach later in the day.

Shocked
 
So the wife and I were having dinner tonight and she suggested to me that I get out there and kite for a few hours before our daughter gets up.

Funny thing was, I wasn't even going to ask.

So yeah, Merry Christmas....I'll see you guys there.

Unimog Bob 12-25-2006 04:52 AM

I'm heading out. Doppler looks kinda freaky though

Bob

Skyway Scott 12-25-2006 05:52 AM

VERY freaky, unfortunately. I got up to go, but am going to sit here for awhile.

There is most likely going to be an outflow boundary (heavy wind spike) very soon on the leading edge of that storm followed by a serious squall.
I wouldn't recommend going out til that crap passes.
Please be careful and wait for that squall to go through.

Merry Xmas and play it safe. We have wind forecast for tomorrow as well.

Skyway Scott 12-25-2006 06:30 AM

Josh launched his 7m and came back in and put it down.
Bob isn't going to launch. Good news.

Oh, they said it was solid 30 on the ground with higher gusts (before the storm got there) :D

E-Bone 12-25-2006 08:33 AM

Yeah, I woke up at 6:30 a.m. or so, looked at the radar, and went right back to bed. I hope that no newbies try to charge this.

As you said, Scott, no one should be riding this until the heavy stuff passes. That is going to be nasty as hell and I can't imagine being tethered to a kite when it rolls in.

I saw one lone poleboarder this morning behind the Tradewinds, he was Litt outta his mind!
See all you Ho Ho Hoes and Trixstas out there, Beeoitches!
Nice avatar Bob!

wimps. 5 of us had an awesome session in Sarasota from 8a-9:15. Nice waves. We were all on 9m bows. Then saw some stuff coming in and left without incident.

Glad those guys exercised some good judgement... 30 with gusts over 40 and all yellow on the rader, black clouds moving fast with some lightning is not a good time to be riding.

Once it settles down it'll be fun. Hope it holds through tomorrow.

Yeah, bitch, Drew already called me to rub it in.

Allan, give me a call today so we can work out the SRQ dawn patrol because I know you have been looking at the same tide chart I have been looking at.
