Fri Evening
 

Who thinks it might blow today as the sun goes down? I'm still a bit sore from Weds, but man I'd die for a repeat!!

I have my stuff, if it does. It's a little out of the way, but I can drive to the SW. :rolleyes:

I think I'll leave work around 4:00 and head to the SW to see what happens. Pray for wind!

I am laying my bets on a seabreeze. We will see.;)

seabreeze? I doubt it, but I will be there after work with light wind board.

I'll be watching from the office and laughing with my friend Pepe Le Pew! Just kidding, hope you guys get in a good sesh, wish I could join you!

Pray for wind this weekend!

Check the speed and direction of the CLW sensor ;)

I think it looks pretty good if you ask me...think positive!!!

Toby that forecast is much different than all the ones I'm seeing. What other resources do you use to check wind forecasts besides iKite and windguru?? I like the optimism!! Let's hope it holds true.

It's not a forecast, it's a prayer. He just typed it in CAPS to make it like very niiiice! Pray hard Toby, you never know!!!

Friday was awesome! Picked up to 15-18mph around 6:30. Rode for about 2 hours with plenty of power on a small board for jumping big and doing some unhooked stuff. I landed a bunch of unhooked F16s and a few S-Bends. Had a great time!

Whooooohooo!

I got it from NOAA, one of the most reliable wind predictors IMO...but lets keep on praying...

If you want a link to NOAA go to www.tampabaykiteboarding.com, there is one there under the 'weather' tab.

I am in pray for sea breeze mode.

You looked great last night Tom. Especially the one unhooked railey, to oopss... whipped the kite....to 20 footer, dingle dangle to... crap... can't get my kite back in the spreader.
I know from experience (of being clueless and totally LITT unhooked) how weird that feels. NICE! The best were your F-16s. Especially when you consider they were on a 16m Waroo in 18 knots!! NICE.
