Default Nite Kiting ~ Unreal session

I was one lucky SOB yesterday and had the opportunity to kite with two extremely talented kiters Jeff Biege and Andy Hurdman from Bestkiteboarding. Conditions were marginal SE-S @ 14-17kts with FUN chunky waves. Things got really interesting when we continued to ride past sunset and into the nite. Absolutely SURREAL session!!

Rumor has it that a video of the session will be posted on the Best site 8)

You guys were lucky. It was cloudy and overcast until just around sunset then a blue sky hole opened up. The moon was half full or more and once the clouds cleared there was quite a bit of light. The waves even smoothed out somewhat. I had to head home and I thought the wind has eased a bit otherwise I would have been out a long time as well. Glad you guys had a great session!

Went out again tonight for a while. I thought I had my larger board but sadly no. So, I ended up doing a lot more walking than I had in mind. Still, it was peaceful.

and ...

AT LEAST FOUR DAYS OF 15 TO 20 MPH NE PREDICTED AGAIN FOR THIS WEEK!!!

IS THIS SEASON GREAT OR WHAT????

I feel this season is better than the past few in terms of frequency of systems and speed of the wind. Hope it continues well into May! A while back the fronts were coming in on weekends, now it seems to be on weekdays. It should shift back in a while, we hope!
