Yeah,

Right off of 275, water or not, is always the best option.

I know a dude who rides at a church right off of 54th and 275. Not sure if there is a lake there or what but I always see his kite and I know he's jumping 'cause I can see him send it.

I saw him first, don't forget.
I saw him Monday on a Green 14m Naish.
He was screwing around with the wind going toward, not away, from 275.
Nice!!

Picnic Island is always a safe choice on wind from SW or SSW or even the S if you are adventurous. It was 13-19knts from 3-5. Good Times! I would like to say I am very happy with my Monkey 15M now that I have had 5-6 sessions on it. It is a grunty power house!

R U sure it wasn't 12 to 18 knots?

Sorry, I got a detailed "it's impossible to even ball park wind speed" speech once on a forum. Just joking around witcha.
Wish I was there.

Your handle is Wolfie, you have a squirrel (with nuts) as an avatar, and now you love your Monkey....

Squirrels love my nutz!

And you can pet my monkey...But remember that it is 15 sq meters and quite turgid when pumped up!

And, Yes, I'm sure about the wind

I am too. It was windy outside my window all day yesterday.
Still hoping for the Sunday effect.

Man, who needs to wait for Sunday?!!

It blew real good at PaG and Blue Flag today for about 2.5 hours before it tapered off.
It filled in at the beach about 2:30 or so. Basically straight from 12 to 18 in about 5 minutes.

Hope tomorrow's seabreeze is just as good or better.

The "roll" started when I started my new 9 to 5 job (as you know).
I insisted that I would only accept the job with those hours if it blew on the weekends.
The boss told me that was a reasonable request and granted it.
I wonder how he managed that?
Actually, I am grateful for my job and am very grateful for the bonus wind!
It has been a truly unreal run.
