Raul, was that you launching at N. Skyway right before the half hour wind lull? We saw a kite launch from N. Skyway frontside while we were riding backside and were hoping you were alright (if that was you) because the wind died off for quite a while there.
Had a ton of fun with a bunch of guys out at backside, got there around 11:00 and it was blowing about 15, after about 45 mins it picked up quite a bit and we had a blast! After about 2 1/2 hours on the water, it looked like a squall was about to come through, it rained a little and it switched from nice warm air and dropped maybe 10 - 15 degrees all in a split second. EVERYONE thought it was going to NUKE so most either got off of the water or went as far out as they could to give them time to pull their QR's if need be. Wind actually DIED and the squall line proved to be a false alarm. But it was good to see everyone out there staying calm and getting off the water quickly and in an orderly fashion or getting far out to give themselves some margin for error...
It actually picked back up at backside and is really nice right now (3:15 pm) if anyone is sitting around jonesing for some wind...
