Accuweather and usairnet showing a nice afternoon WSW breeze..

Wow, AW is actually saying up to 20. They usually undershoot.
This could be good. :D |
Aviation weather is saying 19 knots on Weds @ 2 PM. They are VERY CONSERVATIVE and usually are right on... unlike NOAA who overestimates.
Looks like Weds afternoon may be dope!!!! Yo H. lets DW PAG 2 IRB WEDS @ 2? Build Kiteyak Thurs? jay |
I just took delivery last night of Tom Stocks latest creation called the Danny Johnson Pro Model. This means I MIGHT actually get to try it out. I'll post pictures of it soon, very well made board.

Man, I will take solid 13/15 this time of year. :)
Danimal, that board kicks the crap out of 95% of the 800 dollar boards out there. You are going to be in heaven. |
I hate you all.
Just kidding, I hope it blows for you guys. While you are boosting, just think of me in my class marching and running in formation and doing pushups and leg lifts till it pushes the farts out of us...heck, maybe between us all in the class we will generate some extra thermals for you guys...You're welcome, might smell like scramby eggs tho, LOL! |
Board challenge:
I am 100% positive that Tom builds a great board. I am also 100% sure that a board I sell in the shop rocks as well. Dan, feel free to stop in anytime and pick up a 555 Nobile, any size, your choice. Take it as long as you like. Compare the boards in all types of conditions and let me know what your opinion is when your done. Not really looking for a winner just your thoughts on the comparrison. I hope to ride till I puke this week. R3KB |
I guess different people like different things.
But Danimal can definitely decide if another board is worth 500 bucks more. :) They really should be, logically. |
hello my muslim brothers
let us ride the warm winds of the west while we pray to the eastern star...call me brothers let us ride on wed... i am up for it....AL KITE AH
|
praise allah
my phone number is 727 420 0598 ride my brothers ride.....
|
I'm out on this one.
I wasn't interested on comparing the dollar value, I was interested in comparing the performance. If this thread keeps going for me, Raul will have to delete stuff and stop the thread and all that BS. Truly I can feel it comin. So forget it Dan, it's more trouble than its worth. Congrats on a great board!!!!! |
Yes brotha AL, let us ride!!!!
|
Hi AL
I will give you a ring, have bad knee (really sucks) but want to try to get out a little...Tried to PM U but got Sorry , You Can't Send PM until You Have 100 Posts to try to avoid spambot issues????
Scott L. Was out at Egmont last week...doing some work. |
Danny, I will buy your board for 200 more than you paid Tom for it.
Please PM to make arrangements. |
Jay, I got a better idea for Wed. I'll email it to you, it's something special and no I'm not drinking tonight.
|
Picnic Island?
Anyone riding Picnic Island tomorrow after work approx 4:30? Gary H. are you going? When does Cypress open back up?
|
I'm should be at PaG by 1 or 2.. first ride for me for almost 2 months.. yikes...
was hoping to go to backside but tide is looking very low. |
tide should be fine, its not even going negative, also its a SW wind so it will help to keep even more water in the bay.....
only on negative tides and strong NE winds do we run out of water.... |
Cypress is no go right now, They have the whole beach roped off with no trespassing signs.

I just got back from doing multiple mini-downwinders from Upham/PaG.
It was pretty good for several hours, then.... a friggin sandstorm (literally) was coming down the beach, so I landed my kite, pronto. About 2 minutes later the temps dropped at least 15 degrees and it was blowing 25 plus. Pretty funny watching 100 plus people haul as.s off the beach all at once. ;) Hope the forecast holds for tomorrow. |
I dont know about you guys, but it is friggen windy outside my house. Real gusty. gusting 25 - 30+ easy.
|
Yeah, it is nuking. I hope no one rigged a big kite an hour ago and then got slammed.
|
If I can get out of my office early, D-winder from PG. If I get out late....Picninc is looking good.
|
Looking like a classic SW forecast. Everyone be safe tomorrow and have fun.
Putting up the new Switchblade 4. Will give a full report as a bunch of us will be passing it around all day (hopefully). |
lets get it on.
|
im ready to go... i actually packed all 5 of my kites in my car... just incase :)
hoping for solid 25 or more to start working on the kiteloops (cant let josh top me with a busted mouth:confused: ) |
danny, where you going to ride?
|
depends on the radar, if the rain is coming pretty close to the north, ill head to backside for some flat water action...
if the rain stays pretty far north, ill head to sunset beach (north)..... im actually considering honeymoon if someone else wants to join me, it should have great waves on the outside sand bar and pretty flat water on the inside... i just dont want to ride solo.... |
ya.. i'm going to stay south.. too far to drive up north.. if water level is not an issue i'll hit backside.. if it looks questionable i'll hit the gulf.. PaG and hopefully a downwinder.
|
PAG downwinder (if interested) http://www.fksa.org/showthread.php?t=7001 :)
Like Danny said, no way water will be low at BS... impossible given today's tides and SW wind. |
Bryan,
I was looking at your avatar and it reminded me of a story I just saw yesterday. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle1543330.ece We will be heading to pag for a DW maybe around 11:00. -Chris |
