It looks like it cranked at picnic island the one time that I chose Blue Flag over it. I rode a 19 Boxer and did a lot of walkin up the beach. Great scenery though and that does everything but add to wind speed.

Yep,
Cypress was pretty good (for cypress) I would say 12 to 20. But most of the time right around 15 (like Shane said). It seems to me like the wind is more stable off to the right (grass flats) and the current over to the left was a b#$%h today. So, I stayed off to the right (north) most of the time. Going upwind in that area was a breeze and the water is fairly flat. It might be worth working hard for ten minutes to get upwind in there I have ridden there maybe 8 times in the last 5 weeks and it seems like that is a pretty normal distribution of the wind and the current on an average day. (Better off to the right, I mean) Thanks for the wind confirmation post Shane, it definitely helped my decision of where to ride. |

18 more minutes and I would have had 4 hours of water time on my 15m Ion. Rode the 130cm Abreu in the surf all damn day, aside from 20 minutes down in the glass ripping it up with Hazmatt. Big jumps, epic session.
Not too shabby, byatches. |

backside was OK when i first got there.. was wishing i had something bigger than 12m bow. put the kite up.. after 2 jibes just holding upwind.
WOOOOSH somebody somewhere flipped a switch and it was blowing like mad. absolute SWEET spot for the 12m kite today for at least 90 minutes. My jumps today were much higher than ever before, much more float time... much softer and powered landings.. everything was perfect until i put my kite in a tree. then .. after that hour long episode of reparing, being pissed at myself, etc.. i hit the water again just to cool off and barely held ground until Jason loaned me his skim board and I had some fun on that.. first time ever strapless.. was GREAT. all in all a very good day .. combined with yesterday I am content. |
