Finally, a North bch day!
 
Or, I could also title this "The Wind Gods Finally Return to Their Senses"

It looks like after a long drought of wind we'll get a quick one day shot of good NNW this Saturday. Wow, it even comes to us on a weekend! :D

So far all forecast sites indicate this on the long range outlooks, keep your fingers crossed....

I hope it happens, Raul.
That'd be sweet. I have seen lots of forecasts for good wind 5 days away peter out as the "day of wind" nears though.
Still, I hope it happens.

With this down time, I have fixed all of my gear.
I took a couple kites in to Keith to professionally repair, fixed some leaky bladders, replaced any worn pigtails or bridles with Q line, repaired areas on my board, and made sure everything is up to snuff.
I even fixed all the leaky bladders in my 13m Fuel with SS replacement bladders that have been in the garage for almost 2 years now.
I also double checked the lines/line lengths on my bars.

When wind comes, I don't want to waste time with screwed up equipment.

I'll lay odds you'll take sissors to that fuel next time you try to inflate it, LOL! :eek:


Anyways, look at the temp low for this sunday morning, dipping to 45. something is definitely coming our way...

Skyway Scott 12-10-2007 11:13 AM

Why?

I will be out of town all weekend.

Why else would it blow?

jim 12-10-2007 05:55 PM

Actually whats GOING to happen is no wind all day saturday, then as it gets dark it will pick up and blow all night long and come first light will die off to about 8 mph.

Wolfie 12-10-2007 06:00 PM

Looks to me like Saturday afternoon and Sunday are both going to be good. It is going to be crowded out there. Keeping all the fingers crossed for the rest of the week!! Looks like it could even be a 9m day. I so love the 9..........

toby wilson 12-11-2007 11:22 PM

Wish I could fly a 9M someday!!! :( Maybe if a hurricane hits next hurricane season!!! LOL!!!

E-Bone 12-12-2007 01:32 AM

T-Back, the only 9 you are going to ride is a 9 inch man-sausage. But that's cool, everyone has their own thing.

toby wilson 12-12-2007 01:37 AM

Nah, I keep to my trusty 16, I'm WAY past your miniature 9 E-Bone!!! What are you a newbie or something???

Erick 12-13-2007 10:19 AM
