EAST COAST WAVEKITING GROUNDSWELL IS A COMIN"!
 
Oh yeah!

Thanks to Florence, http://flhurricane.com/cyclone/storm...r=2006&storm=6

it looks like sunday afternoon we'll get our once a year east coast waves !!!! :o :D :D :D :o

Swell from the SE direction , if we get 10-15NE wind that would be the ultimate down the line wavekiting

So, I am thinking sunday afternoon anywhere from Ponce inlet to Matanzas should be game!! :mrgreen:

Going?!?

Ideas?!? :idea: :D

I'm hoping too. Eddie thinks it's gonna happen. :D

Tonight simply rocked (solid 20 plus for a couple hours, then the sun set).
Maybe it will continue?

I got some video footage but can't find any software here to edit with :?

Mail it to me, I'll edit it :)

Scott, looks like you fell off your Aggression kick and went back to the trusty wavetray... :wink:

I always ride the WT in higher winds.
My only other choice right now is a Glide. I think that would've been a little much
:D

Today turned out real nice. Solid 15 knots for a couple hours with strong opposing current (4 to 5 knots) from 4pm to 7pm, due to the tide ripping out.

Dr. Bruce, Lori, Raul and Donna got to ride, along with about 20 other kiters at Matanzas Inlet.
Waves today were 5 to 6 feet at the Pier.

Both Monday and Tuesday are forecast to blow even harder with some pretty big waves coming in, especially Tuesday.

Yep! just got back in 3 hrs ( after a stop at wendys for a #6 )

I was on the 14m contra the afternoon and Doc B 15m fusion everyone else on 12m nice and litt!!! :D

Wind just kept building and building from NE but waves weren't quite yet SE from Flo' like I was expecting just East but still fun to catch a few 3+ footers on the outside with glass on the inside

Matanzas is da' bomb, just watch out for the current :o , cool people, wind waves. wish I didn't have to work mon. and tues.

P.S. oh, I almost forgot! yesterday ( sat ) we were on the same rigs just not as powered up by maybe a knot or so
