Default Friday EB

Looks breezy. I am going out there to EB.
Today is one of those days (I think) that it might not have a lot of guys.
If not many there and you show and you need a launch, don't hesitate to flag me off of the water. I will be on a blueish Flexifoil.

Backside of the skyway was perfect from 12 to 3:30!! Perfect consistent wind for a 13M. I was the only person out there for a while. I saw only 2 kites at east beach. I assume that was you Scott.

I went over to Big Beach. Al-kite-ah helped me rig out there (thanks again, Al).

It was way too squirrelly out at EB. Guys kites were falling out the sky. The wind was also pretty weak there.
BB was much better. It wasn't awesome, but it was pretty nice.

Sunset Beach Park rocked yeserdat from 1 to 5. I was pretty lit on my 12.5 ion2 and had to keep it on the setting for high wind.

Nice clean consistent, sunny, only 5 kiters, what a day!

I have that exact same kite. It seems to jump (noticeably) higher on the low wind setting.
Have you found that to be true?

I have only ridden the kite 3 times, but i know the 14.5 has massive hangtime as well as the 12.5. I'm not sure if it jumps higher just yet, but i am hooked on that kite though!
