As Tom pointed out to me today, I have gained command over predicting the SENSOR, but pssibly not the true wind!
It wasn't blowing jack shit at the SW today, despite the ikite saying 17.
So, I did do a bang up job of nailing that sensor spike!!
However, in reality when Raul and I got there, it was 6 knots.

Good thing I am only 4 minutes away or that would get under my skin.
It did blow solid ten for about 40 minutes. I was actually quite powered up then. :P :P

Seriously though, I have noticed when the morning low and the high are 20 degrees apart, it greatly increases the odds of a decent east.
We will see.

I did get to test the low end on my new kite, though. I think its as low as any kite I have ridden (upwind no problem in 7 knots just parking the kite, on a Glide).
It's amazing how effiecient and powerful kites are these days.

Its blowing about 14 now, so lets just hope
