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" :)
