BRING IT ON! I've got a brand new Jimmy Lewis Model 3 139cm ready to try out!!!
|
Sweet. That's a ways away, but seems like something has to give here soon.
|
Im liking that forecast...but why are all the best days during the week.....aagghh! Surely going on sunday- 10 to 15.... ill take it.
|
I wonder whats causing that potential wind. seems like all the tropical systems are far off at that point???
|
Cool. Thanks for the heads-up! I'm liking the idea of a night ride on Saturday. Time to start adjusting the work schedule. I think we my have quite a bit of wind coming up here shortly with all the activitiy in the waters at the moment. I can't recall the season forecast off the top of my head but I do remember it being a rather active one. Might be a good year to have those 7meters.

Hey Big R
Weren't you the one telling me not to get my hopes up last week. Well it was a long shot and still is sorta, but it looks promising for some 15+ winds. With all of the down time lately, all I had was getting up some hopes. Hope it happens. Steve-O Please give a review of the Contra and Crossbow III's if you get on em. |
well, cat IV's only have to come within 500 miles of you to give you rideable wind.
also , notice that the "5 day cone" is now within striking distance of Tampa. I was just trying to let you know not to set yourself up for disappointment, I've seen these things go 90 or 180 degrees in the other direction or fizzle out B 4, but this one looks solid till monday at least Quote:
Nice colors! I'll be at the skyway saturday and/ or sunday if there's wind if anybody wants to demo the new 17m Contra III or 12m XBow III. I am suspecting the new contra will be able to go in some pretty light winds if it comes to that. Pray for wind! |
weekend forecast?
Did the forecast bomb? Or is their still a chance....what say u..
|
The forecast is saying "get yo glo sticks ready, BOIZ" :)
|
Scott, SS sensor says 13-14 right now 8am fri, what do you think, did we miss one? |
Laughing so hrd I can hadly type.
I drove out to (waste time and let the dogs take a shit). No wind when I got there. |
AAACcccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! Our forecast just got pulled back, and the forecast down south in Miami got pulled up! Anybody care to make a weekend roadtrip down south? |
What is the forecast for Miami?
|
Look at this happy happy joy joy, and test kites, and i'll be at the skyway and all this...and now what?.....aaaggghhhhhh!.tring not to get all negative and shit but man. That will teach me to get my hopes up.
|
NEVER get your hopes up in August in St. Pete, even when a storm is DEFINITELY headed this way...I remember the last T.S. of last season with Roy, Erick, Josh and Dean from Pennsylvania, we were at EB all day and it was either HONKING with ridiculous gusts and Dean was getting the 'shocks' in the water or it was DEAD calm...that storm was a serious tease!!!
|
I just talked to Bob. He is Capn'n a boat from down south back home.
It was blowing good in Marathon today. Seems obvious it's gonna blow down south. I am keeping my fingers crossed for here, glo sticks ready, just in case it comes to night riding only. |
Kiting at night with glow sticks...huh. That must look pretty cool. Ive surfed at night, you kinda feel like bait...im sure its different with a kite. Sounds cool.
|
Free place to stay in miami Race on sunday too |
As Scott know - since I'm planning on getting out tomorrow it probably won't blow. sorry guys.......... But I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!!
