Heading back to the beach on Sunday. A new front arrived in the night, winds clocked from SW to N in less than 12 hours. Best part, these side onshore winds are BUILDING!

Used to be very familiar back in the day. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/202_G.jpg Big Ian booted in as usual tacks in http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/4_G.jpg Brandon Bowe pops one in the foreground as Jon Modica riding for Cabrinha tries an aerial move, strapless. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/207_G.jpg Dan Floyd down from South Carolina and having fun. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/227_IMG_0244.jpg Brandon Scheid on a wave http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/230_G.jpg Billy stays focused http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/208_G.jpg Brandon pops one http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/198_G.jpg Brandon Bowe throws a kite loop against a gray sky. Sunday was more overcast and darker than Saturday. So, the images needed a lot more touching up in Photoshop and it shows. How about wind and sun next time? Has happened a lot over the years of the event, just not always. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/232_G.jpg Multiple flying objects, Erik Merrill floats board off above it all. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/210_G.jpg http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/...ly_MG_0113.jpg There's Billy with Southwind http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/212_G.jpg http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/196_G.jpg Did I mention it was a bit chilly?

Inertia and a fair amount of skill. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/195_G.jpg http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/222_G.jpg Takes me back http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/234_G.jpg Packet models the latest in rider cold wear, the JL snug-e.

Myers, FL. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/6_IMG_0595.jpg Melissa works back upwind too http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/224_G.jpg Sometimes, it just goes like that. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/233_G.jpg Tommy upside down again, looks like he has Dan's attention. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/1_G.jpg http://www.fksa.org/albums/album479/Tommy_s.jpg See you later.

Thank you! It is a good event, even better in strong winds and nice sized waves. It is a great wave venue.
