Yesterday was one of those days where ya kept getting blown off the water. Rig smaller, wind picks up, rig smaller, wind picks up. Whitey, I don't know how you held down the 12M. I was at the end of my rope on the 10M. That was some of the strongest wind I have felt all winter.

As far as swim zones and access, common sense goes along way. Sounds like somebody might get a good FF here shortly.

FF'in seems to be a lost art in these days of political correctness. Maybe an example of this could help the newbies understand the definition....(I think Popeye may have a few classics from the old days.. )
Just kidding, but back then, we just said what we meant and it was VERY effective in curbing bad behavior.
have a nice day!

Went to Picnic Island around 4pm and the wind picked up right after I rigged my kite. I was way too overpowered that it actually took some of the fun out.

Yeah, same with the FF's, they usually had too much power for it to be fun, for most anyway....
Thats when the 100% depower (button) was invented.
