Thought about heading down but decided to go scooter free diving diving in forecast lighter winds off Broward County. Have fun.

Default The wind did blow!

We had a pretty good weekend for wind in the keys. Saturday was fun but Sunday was awesome!! Attended the Winch event up at the Aqua Ranch for a while. Then Sexton and I did about a 3 mile UPwinder to a sweet little spot that I discovered near Marathon. We were followed by a couple of people in town from Jupiter when they saw us jumping a lot higher than them. One of the best things about an UPwinder is that you get to do a Downwinder to get back. Ended up with a pretty knarly sting on my ass but it was well worth it!
