Thumbs up

Watch out for those storms tomorrow...But if they get out of the way early I may try to get a ride on the Bay side. Maybe Picnic Island. Is anyone planning North Beach for Saturday? It looks like a kick ass day for it!!!!

Sounds like EB was awesome. It seems like Dunedin really nukes on souths.
Was it 20+ up there?

I am hoping to do a downwinder Sat. Tom and I did one last weekend, it was epic.
Blue Flag is on St. Pete beach. The flag is so old, it is now faded white.
It was blue 5 years ago.

It is the the beach with the public parking (meters) north of the Undertow by a half mile, across the street from Dolphin village.

Noob, Donna is going to ride tomorrow around 2 or so, maybe 3. Might want to post on here, she will check it.
I am gonna try to get out of work a little early.
We (she) will be at Blue Flag.
I personally love W wind, but make sure you are ripping upwind to out there, because that is dead onshore. I love it cuz you can cruise the up and down the entire beach.

Tell Donna that I plan on going out as soon as it picks up. Have her give me a call if she wants to meet up. Looks like this weekend is gonna be a good one...

You gonna hit the beach or BS? She doesn't ride BS.

Thanks. I think Randy and a couple of others will be out, too.

I am gonna try to get out by 2. Seems like half the office is taking a half day, so I might too.

i will be going to blue flag / undertow this afternoon as well as tomorrow AM (can only kite til about noon)

i rode backside yesterday from 4 to 6:30.

i rigged my 16m right when it picked up around 4 pm. solo launch and all was good then suddenly it started nukin..

i was able to land and get the 12 going and rode that for an hour before i went back to the 16 for another hour or so....

good times.. wind was odd.. it was there but didnt have a solid base .. gusty and dropping out a lot.

i will say this:

the men were ON THE PROWL yesterday. the flood gates were OPEN.
No exaggeration that there were 10 different cars that pulled up during my time there that the occupants just got out of their cars and walked directly into the mangroves. Then I would notice later that some cars were gone and some were still there and others would show up.

freaky freak.

Scott-- yeah dunedin really picks up on south winds because they barrel through a fairly narrow channel and it allows them to really blow. I'm stuck in the house til 2:00 (i'm on-call at work...bummer) but if I dont have to work I'll be heading out for sure. Blue-flag is out on St. Pete beach? It's a shame, I've lived here all my life and never been out there before. I hope I can find it. Let me know if you guys are heading out and what time!! I'd like to ride with ya if possible.

I rode BS. I'm headed out there again today. I would have rather been in the Gulf yesterday but BS is so much closer to home...great session and learned a lot yesterday!
