I'll be on a bright yellow/blue TD
Whitecaps within a half hour 8)
Someone come out to the 'Tow and nail this with me :)

not that im a wind expert, but before it hit zero it was blowing from the NE and just after it hit zero it was blowing from the ENE, that doesnt sound to much like a seabreeze kicking in, but i could be wrong :?:

No worries. That's why I hit most seabreezes alone (cuz everyone says "I am no expert, but its blowing zero" :P )
Just watch the screen, I will be riding within the hour.
By the time the SW sensor registers, and you decide to drive out and rig, half of the seabreeze is done, and it's on the downswing :(

i know, but most of the time the sensor hitting zero is only a good sign when it is blowing from the east, then it hits zero just before it switches west and starts cranking, i believe you were the one who told me that its not as good for a seabreeze if it starts out blowing from the west....

confirmed 20-22knots at blue flag by scott

will it blow around 5? If it does, I'll be out there.

If it doesn't, I'll be skunked at the Skyway..."Skunked at the Skyway" sounds like some cheezy reality series or something... :lol:

Pard'n my ignance, but whars da blue flag :?:

Skemp,
You ready for another d-winder at the causeway?

that sounds real nice. Do you think we could launch though with the off shore wind on the causway

Call Me 813 918 2173

Another idea is a beach downwinder. Maybe sand key

I'd go for a downwinder with you guys if my girlfriend is okay with it... but that'd probably be a negative...

I'll prolly just be at Redington again :(

Same ol waves today?

Skemp,
I got v-mail. and left a message.

I've got a place on Bellair Beach 2 mi S of Sand Key park. Might Try to convince the girly girl for sunset drinks!!! 8) Plus, We'll need someone to launch and land us. It'll be a stretch for me to get there by 530.

Well then, we can see who wears the pants in THAT relationship, huh Kev? :lol:

Just kidding, bustin' on you 'cause I like you bud!!!
:twisted:

I'll let her wear them, as long as she takes them off from time to time. :lol:

I'll see what I can do... she's capable of launching up to a 13m MAYBE 15m kite... anything bigger she can't lift.
Skemp, email me... Kevinwhite88 -at- Gmail.com

I get outa here at 5... so I could be there by 5:30 earliest...

Well, I got out early, but just realized tonight is a family night... Grandparents, aunt, sister and boyfriend will all be over...


NOOOOO!!!! I miss the wind :(

I see kiters...

I just got back. (Danny, it did start out of the NE this morning. Thanks for posting. Unfortunately people got there too late, most likely to due to obligations, like work :oops: )

I think that camera is on a time delay! Donna said she saw me riding at 4:45, Impossible! (she "saw" me after I called her.. well I called her when I was DONE and no other kiters out there and waiting on Big Air AL, hmmmm)
Did anyone watch the camera by any chance?
If so, I was out there from 2:30 til 3:45. Did it show that or 3:30 til 4:45? It matters .. cuz if its an hour late.. well, that AINT real time info :cry: (I left when the sensor said zero and I just noticed a single whitecap at the beach using the cam. If the camera is delayed, that whitecap was there
an hour earlier...not good) The fact that it was NUKING when I pulled up to the beach also leads me to believe the cam is on a delay.

(Hey Kevin, after I hit submit, I saw that pic. Cool, yep, that's me)

It started off strong for an hour (I actually think I missed an hour cuz of the cam) then quickly died to about 12. Pretty typical stuff.
I just checked the SW sensor. Yep, 2.5 hour delay b/n the beach and the Skyway. Check out the SPIKE. Man, whatta spike!

backside skyway was OK from 4:45 to 5:30.. on 12m powered fine.. not much tho..

about 5:45 it really started to drop and we put up the 20m and it held ... but the real issue was the extreme low tide.

i am not very familiar w/ backside but DAMN it gets shallow quick.

not even enough water to lay down an edge to carve upwind.

drat.

If we had hit it earlier would have gone to PAG.

oh well.

Yeah,

Tomorrow is the full moon and the tide was SCREAMING out around 5pm, so tonight was an extreme low. It'll get even lower in winter if new/fulls correspond to nuking NE winds.

This tide didn't help much at the beach either, cuz when the wind dropped to around 13 the current effectively stole a couple knots :x .

Good day to try out the 16m Waroo tho onced the seabreeze eased off. It felt good to me :P

BTW, the camera is on time... it showed the sun setting at 8:20.

Was riding with Bryan & co, Hauss, Eric, Fernanda, etc yesterday but yeah, it got SHALLOW quick!!! Hauss and I got stuck downwind and the wind just DIED!!! He got me relaunched tho and all was good. Rough day at the backside though...

T

BTW, the camera is currently WAY OFF... it shows it is not even light out yet!! WTF!! Guess it is off, then on, then off, then on.. great... Donna was actually a little mad at me yesterday, cuz while I was talking to her on the phone, she saw "someone" riding her TD. Well, that was me, from an hour earlier!
Ah..... flawed technology is now getting me in trouble. I already get in enuff on my own!
(Good thing the camera's rez can't spot my eyes and reveal what I am looking at out there :twisted: )

Oh, this is funny. If anyone reads this post within fifteen minutes of it going up, check it. Darkness to FULL SUN in one frame!!
