Gusting above 50 sounds a little ambitious...... especially later in the day.

Yeah, it was windy.
I rode all day too, with Tom and others.
It started off gusting to over 40 and dropped by 1pm.
30 to 35 knots is windy as hell. I
50 knots would have blown that lady in the video down the beach and she would be crying for mercy... not smiling

Anyway, it was definitely windy.

Yeah I was on a 6m C kite... I was actually underpowered once I got towards PAG, but I'm a lot heavier than Josh.

In 50 you can't set your board down on the beach because it'll blow away!
