I did catch some nasty spikes on ikitesurf at Jupiter that probably represent what hit you guys. I am glad you guys were watching approaching weather and reacted before the squall gusts hit. It is always good to look to where the clouds are coming from on a regular basis and to note any changes. The clouds that brought 50 mph gusts last night were not that evil looking at all. They were just a bit darker from what had been blowing through all day. Checking color radar before you go out helps but as you experienced things can change. I check the color radar on my telephone just before setting up and on the odd break. Riding in areas under the influence of tropical weather systems, particularly hurricanes always carries higher risk. The internet aids can work to reduce it but some will still be there. If nothing else the riding conditions can be fairly challenging. All that heavy irregular surf in our area combined with pronounced lulls and gusts even without squalls. Reposted from kiteforum.com
