it was pretty gusty everywhere... but a down winder in flatter water would have made it less of an issue, especially if you are not jumping a whole lot (like on a directional, etc).

none of us were on directionals and it was pretty much flat to small chop, but it wasn't gusty. just kept building , steady, and building once you got a mile or so away from S Skyway


Awesome!

Too bad not everyone is awesome and some ride like total losers.
I just got a PM telling me how ridiculously bad one spot along the beach was yesterday with the same ol' crap, like jumping close to kids.

To the rest of us... we are AWESOME.

Sounds like I rode the wrong spot yesterday, not so awesome!

As for the beaches, I have seen some pretty incredible riding out there! I thank god every day for providing us with such talent.

Our god is an AWESOME god!

Yea as Raul said you can't judge the ride on a SW wind at skyway south as huge windshadow so sketchy getting going but once you get out it is AWESOME.

You have some spots out there that are very cool. Sandbars makes for flat water much of the stretch can see fish darting around, not many people a few fisherman and that is it. Only bad thing is no bystanders to be impressed with my AWESOME four ft jumps out there


Not alot of outs but we have a boat that can access that area from our house fairly quickly so......
Port Manatee area is the only spot would hate to break down in on that ride.

Lori - You are being modest. I saw some of those 20 ft jumps you had and the like 3 fishermen we saw were chearing for you!!

It was an AWESOME day - I'm just glad Raul didn't jump over that boat like the fisherman asked him to but he did jump over the mangroves a couple of times and over that boat in the port.............................

Lori 05-13-2008 08:45 AM

Kevin really glad you made the run with us and thanks for holding on to my harness when landing at the end cuz I was getting gooffy tired by then

By the way I think that was you they were cheering for with those lofty jumps!


Hope we can do that again in the near future.
