Finally, a North bch day!
 
Or, I could also title this "The Wind Gods Finally Return to Their Senses"

It looks like after a long drought of wind we'll get a quick one day shot of good NNW this Saturday. Wow, it even comes to us on a weekend! :D

So far all forecast sites indicate this on the long range outlooks, keep your fingers crossed....

I hope it happens, Raul.
That'd be sweet. I have seen lots of forecasts for good wind 5 days away peter out as the "day of wind" nears though.
Still, I hope it happens.

With this down time, I have fixed all of my gear.
I took a couple kites in to Keith to professionally repair, fixed some leaky bladders, replaced any worn pigtails or bridles with Q line, repaired areas on my board, and made sure everything is up to snuff.
I even fixed all the leaky bladders in my 13m Fuel with SS replacement bladders that have been in the garage for almost 2 years now.
I also double checked the lines/line lengths on my bars.

When wind comes, I don't want to waste time with screwed up equipment.

I'll lay odds you'll take sissors to that fuel next time you try to inflate it, LOL! :eek:


Anyways, look at the temp low for this sunday morning, dipping to 45. something is definitely coming our way...
