It's unstable wind. It's sort of obvious.

32-36++ @ SW

do you have a 6-7m? Danny doesn't count, he uses the 12m to 45kt:D

I have no clue. This stuff is way too unpredictable, which is why I am sitting here and not riding.
It's the possible gust to 60 that concerns me.

We rode from Gandy to Pinellas Point. Was on my 13 meter Fuel. That kite is awesome and has more range than any bow I've ridden plus the safety benefit of a 5th line. Was easily 30-35 around Coquina Key. Boosted 40 footers for 80 yards and reached 41.7 knots on the gps. Never really overpowered but definitely lit. Thats great for a 13 meter C kite, especially when everyone else was on 9 and 11 bows.
