Good, one more weekend before that dumb time thing.
Man, it's really cranking. I am rigging a bar and it's solid 25 right in the yard.

It just makes more sense to ride after work, in better wind, for most people. This change of time takes that option away.

The wind doesn't usually even fill in (yesterday was a classic example) until about 45 minutes after the sun comes up.
And that's usually only for about an hour. Check out 5pm for yesterday.
Oh well. I hear ya', I have done my share of DPs, I just think the wind in the afternoon is more consistent and more predictable, especially the last couple of seasons. It use to be the other way around.

Wind was great all day, except for the 35+ gusts at East Beach....

Time to start shopping for a smaller kite, the 15m was way over powered and I'm way under experienced to play hard.

Yeah. Right around 3pm got pretty windy.
Thanks again Chris for letting me demo your 9m so much.
Calling Daryl and getting one tomorrow.

Any time Scottie. You have to thank Roy too since he sold it to me for nothing.
