You gonna hit the beach or BS? She doesn't ride BS.

Thanks. I think Randy and a couple of others will be out, too.

I am gonna try to get out by 2. Seems like half the office is taking a half day, so I might too.

i will be going to blue flag / undertow this afternoon as well as tomorrow AM (can only kite til about noon)

i rode backside yesterday from 4 to 6:30.

i rigged my 16m right when it picked up around 4 pm. solo launch and all was good then suddenly it started nukin..

i was able to land and get the 12 going and rode that for an hour before i went back to the 16 for another hour or so....

good times.. wind was odd.. it was there but didnt have a solid base .. gusty and dropping out a lot.

i will say this:

the men were ON THE PROWL yesterday. the flood gates were OPEN.
No exaggeration that there were 10 different cars that pulled up during my time there that the occupants just got out of their cars and walked directly into the mangroves. Then I would notice later that some cars were gone and some were still there and others would show up.

freaky freak.

Scott-- yeah dunedin really picks up on south winds because they barrel through a fairly narrow channel and it allows them to really blow. I'm stuck in the house til 2:00 (i'm on-call at work...bummer) but if I dont have to work I'll be heading out for sure. Blue-flag is out on St. Pete beach? It's a shame, I've lived here all my life and never been out there before. I hope I can find it. Let me know if you guys are heading out and what time!! I'd like to ride with ya if possible.

I rode BS. I'm headed out there again today. I would have rather been in the Gulf yesterday but BS is so much closer to home...great session and learned a lot yesterday!

Cool,
glad everyone had fun today


I am so proud of Lori completing a 20 mile downwinder today

we were underpowered from 10-12am on 9m and 12m kites with 130ish boards
in 12 gusting to 20 sometimes wind ave 15.

anyways, it was awesome 80% of the time, the rest wasn't enough wind but it made it a great downwind experience

next time might be a 14m contra and super phatty for me , but dang! the wind was good really early on B4 9am then came down!

Randy was teaching @ Skyway south by the time we got there about 1:30pm. I 'm prity tired now after that but it was fun. Why did the HLS helicopters trail us by port manatee anyways????..........
