Ignore the sensor, it is 20+

Sensor is FUBAR. It is blowing like crazy... white caps everywhere.

YEP!

Any reports? How was it?

PaG was windy, but exceptionally gusty. I have a gut feeling that up north (IRB or further) was probably 20+ and more steady.

PaG was literally 11 to 25. Not non-stop gusty and all over, but lots of holes in it, and basically 14 to 20, is what I think was going on.
Better than not riding though. A traditional (2003) C-kite would have been a total nightmare.

backside 25+, crazy gusty except across the channel. Boosting huge, having fun. A *TON* of beginners. Very difficult to stay clear without going off on your own somewhere.

Saw someone (beginner) get the dreaded waroo deal spiral on a waroo 15 (in 25+)... 15 loops and counting heading for the trees. Kite ended up the in the trees, rider and kite ok. Lucky I headed over there to make sure and then rode back over to get Randy since I would also have to ditch my kite into the trees to help (and the rider was not hurt so not necessary).

otherwise a good time.

Heads up though, not sure if anyone noticed the big huge hunk of steel in the water with the two 3 foot long steel rods pointing up from it? I saw Colin jumping a lot going down wind at mach 3 right AT IT. that thing will KILL YOU if you hit it. I am not kidding. if you crash into it you will die.... no joke no exaggeration!!!

Good times. Jason was doing some nice unhooked kiteloop transitions when I left.

Beginners in 25, on 15's, upwind of trees in really gusty winds... good idea?

Did you hit a 30 foot jump, you think?

Oh well... that's why you just go upwind.

I am pretty sure I did, but someone else will have to say since they always feel higher than they are.
(shortened version)

backside is a sketchy place to ride, especially for beginners. BE CAREFUL. I had a few close calls today, one self inflicted and somewhat embarrassing. In one case I did a small jumping transition near shore (i know don't say it) and it gusted just as I was diving my kite. Yanked me right out of my straps and I landed on my face in the mud. Duh. That was dumb.

Anyway, it was a good time but typical BS.
