Default Sunday Downwinder

If anyone doesn't have a gameplan or someone to ride with tomorrow, we currently have about ten riders doing a downwinder tomorrow from John's Pass (or further north) to the Undertow.

Anyone else want to join?
Any one have an idea on where to start from that has plenty of parking (assuming 8 or more cars show up)?

John's Pass is usually a good place to start, but sometimes we run out of parking.

We are going to be meeting relatively early, like 10am (weather permitting) and getting on the water by 10:30.
People that want to then eat at the Undertow, and then do another DW, can that way.

Will post again as things get firmed up.
It might really nuke tomorrow. BN9 is saying 16 to 30. They hardly ever say more than 25.
Typical.. it's ten minutes later and now it say 20 to 25, lol. Anyway, it should be good, I hope.

Today was pretty awesome in between EB and backside SW. I was totally litt on a 9 and then switched to the 7m.
Felt like solid low 20s going to high twenties out there. Nice.

I have no problems with that.
Where can we go with reasonable parking?
IRB is sometimes a nightmare in terms of getting a lot of cars in a spot, cuz it has all these little off street spots that hold 2 cars.
Sand key park is a long walk from the road.
You know a decent sized lot?

that south jetty is hard latley to find parking.
there is the north jetty but you gotta pay to play.

It does make sense to take the trolley when dry and drive less.
Do you just leave your pump up at the launch site?

I would say a shorty if you have one. Baynews9 says water temp. 72.

Pretty crazy isn't it?
Air temp should be in the mid 60s.
Shorty seems fine for me.
I only had shorts and a shirt on today. Insane for mid December.

Scott,

As far as parking goes in IRB, yes the streets are small, but with weather like tomorrow they will be empty. You can get 6-8 cars per street. Two streets should cover it. I don't think you will have any problems parking on 26th and 27th Ave. I plan to be there in the morning to go downwind. Got Doug and some others on board.

Maybe we'll meet up. 727-542-8022
