Yep, It was windy. Started off REALLY windy (spiked to 30 on Donna RIGHT as we launched her at 11 am, unfortunately), then died, then BAM, solid wind again.

Bayflite let several people demo the Mako today. Several people including Donna and I rode the 134. http://oceanrodeo.com/makopro.php

That board is definitely worth a demo ride, imo. It screams upwind (better than my custom UG 137) and feels exceptionally smooth in the chop (I am talking it cuts like butter). It also carves very well. It's a smooth ride. I don't know about being a dedicated trick board, but most of us aren't dedicated tricksters, anyay.
Anyway, I was impressed with it and Donna really loved it, too.
I was surprised by it's low end and how well it shot upwind considering its dimensions.

Nice day out there today, for sure.
