Heavy Gusty Winds Today and Tomorow
 
NOAA and Wind Guru as well as other forecasters are calling for gusts in excess of 35 - 40 knts later today and esepecially tomorrow, if you doubt yourself or any part of your gear (bridals, chicken loop lines, ect...) think thrice before heading out.

Good call Matt. I was out this morning at honeymoon and it was a rollercoaster out there, it was actually too much work to ride due to the gusts. Had I not been on a 25 meter C kite filled with hellium and trick skis, I might have had a better chance!

Tomorrow is another day!

I was also at Honeymoon from 11:30 - 3pm. Today takes the cake for the gustiest(is this a word?) I've ever been out in. You really had to pay attention to what the kite was doing b/c the wind was all over the place. Sometimes when you dipped the kite there was nothing and the next time it would pull you off your board. Launching was scary. I think I mastered my ass out/kite high sailing technique though.

east beach was amazing!! it was a little gusty but not too bad. The 7M was perfect.

Cypress was good, Chris, Skimp, Carrie, Brandon, and Erick. Good seeing you guys out.

Wind is howling off Bayshore this AM as I drink my coffee...

Still would like to see someone ride up here... One day....

Geezus it's windy. I might be forced to use my hurricane kite today.

Solid 30 to 40 (and that's in my yard.... )

And Here I thought I could make it thru my first kitesurfin' season with only a 12M and a 16M. :confused:

Guess I need a 9M, or a 7M for weekends like this, huh??

You guys were goin' off at Honeymoon yesterday! Today's even gustier!

I gotta work today, wonder if it will be good at EB tomorrow??

43 gusting to 50!

Damn it's windy there!

May have to make the drive down I-4 today...

Todd RT,

I think it might be too much NNE tomorrow for EB to be all that good.
The SW might be good until around 11 am.
