looks like its starting again...
 
sensors are changing, im thinking of heading to irb around 4, hopefully it holds

I hope so too. We will know soon. I wish the SW would go to ZERO... c'mon now!! Or at least let the Boca Ciega sensor show NW at 6.
If either or both happen, I am outta here:D

It looks NW. I am outta here.
I am pretty sure you are going to get wind up North for sure Danny.
I just want to stay closer. Have a good time.

It died at FHP around 4pm, just as I got off work. Looks like noon to 4pm was good. That sensor on COMPS is always 1 to 1-1/2 hour behind. Is it more up to date anywhere else?

I've found that the Clearwater beach sensor is usually more up to date, but being out on a barrier island, the seabreeze effect is sometimes not as noticable.

Cheers

How can you get skunked when a camera is showing white caps and you live 8 minutes away?

I hit one solid hour of good wind before it slowed (right when 2 windsurfers showed up and rigged and unfortunately, right when Danny showed up, too).

Despite it slowing down, we got to test the low end of Danny's new Crazy Fly board and his new 20m kite. Pretty unreal. I think that CF might actually have the Glide beat in low wind ability. It's at least it's equal.
I was going upwind in some pretty light stuff and so was Danny.
We used a local windsurfer (Britt) who I've known for years and is simply awesome and has the best lightwind poleboarding gear made as our reference. He can plane out in 7 knots. When it slowed, he wasn't planing and we were.
That's gotta hurt!

I've seen you do it. Unfortunately, I've seen it live because you called me just before charging and convinced me to come along!

No worries, glad you got some. Guess I have to live vicariously through you today.

I can't remember that situation. Was it at PaG or the SW sensor was reading 20?
No worries, it won't happen again.

No apologies required, I think we tried to charge 9 and it turned out to be 6. Must have been a summer session.
