That was CBS sports I thought. I definitely steered clear of those yahoos.
I am sure you did a great job, despite them trying to get the danger sound bite for their broadcast.
Did you like my response when they asked for an interview?

It was a great day today, I thought. Not perfect at the beach, but I had actually had a blast out there. I was surprised you guys hopped off, it was just starting to fill in better.The first half sucked, but it got better, I thought.
Anyway, I use to ride that crap with a 2002 C kite, so it seemed epic, in comparison.

Backside was friggin' unreal. Solid 30 to 35. That was the most fun in high wind I have had in quite some time. I hit a personal best on speed, I think.
It was a blast zooming along in 6 inches of water in 35 knots. 4 hours or so of riding, hard to beat that. :)

Sorry about the bad call on the kite size Bryan.
It didn't look that windy!! :confused:

hah.. no worries at all scott...

What dumb thing did I say exactly?

Something like.... it can't be any more windy here than it was at TI.....

10 minutes later, we hit the water and are begging for mercy. :confused: :rolleyes:

We're you guys freezin? It was way too cold for this OG.
5/3 fullsuit with hood and gloves?

You know, I wasn't cold at all actually. Every year I gain a few pounds of insulation. :)

It did start getting cold when I left. It is REAL cold right now and tomorrow.... if someone rides.... well, they will probably end up being misidentified by the Discovery Channel as an Ice Man when found later that day... frozen.

Experienced some of the most perfect conditions....other than the cold of course today. Sunset Park in Tarpon Springs. Arrived around noon with Doug and Gabe. No one out. Solid 30-35. Tide was coming in so about a foot of water or less. Super flat. I wish I had brought my GPS...I know I was moving. The wind was surprisingly clean especially on the outside. Beautifully powered on a new 10M SB3. A drysuit is worth every penny on days like today. Ran into Danny on at end of our sesh. The new Flexi board looks killer Dan. Did you and Brian ride? I hope so....it didn't look like their were any signs of quitting.

That place is flat water paradise. Good times!!!!

cool, never made it out the couple of miles by the south of anclote key?

nice waves set up by there

Yeah man!!! I took two boatloads of guys out New Years Day out there. Unfortunately, with the NNW conditions, Anclote key itself made it very gusty. Had been out there on N, NE, and S, but never NW. You can definately play on the outside in the waves, and the wind is fine there, but if you want to stay on the sand bar, not so good. Three Rooker would be the call next time on a NW if looking for super clean conditions on the inside. Still learning.

You musta been on the leeward side, way past the south end of the island the wind cleans up on a NW/NNW and the waves grow big as they toss on the sandbar

I've gone out there before on a windsurfer years before they outlawed kitesurfing from fred howard park.

I see you guys were prolly on the east side of the island,
clean flat water conditions are a dime a dozen around here.

REAL waves are the diamond in the rough to find

It was exceptionally low tide today. Doesn't get any lower, I don't believe.
Here is a pic of Ross at BS SW. Notice no water on other side of the channel on that grass flat, either.
I didn't see whitecaps on the grass flat, so I didn't think it was that windy, Bleighty... lol.

Have a pic of a hawk in my backyard, too. Too windy to hunt, so he decided to camp out. He gave me the look of "back off or lose your face".
