Nope, it just teased us all day. Unless I see a big change in the windspeed at the Skyway, I am done for the day. Maybe it will pick up in an hour or so here? I sure hope so!!!

Jumping on 275 in a few minutes to check out both ends of skyway. Ports line saying 13 to 16. Maybe I can get a quickie (on water, not in mangroves).

Had an absolute blast this afternoon at Pic Is. Met Eric and we had a great session. We took cover from one huge squall and then it was on. Road almost directly upwind and even got is a couple of jumps . Road my15m SS so clearly there was plenty of wind. I’m sore and I’m sure it will be worse in the morning. Thanks Ernesto!

Just a tease to add up to our summer blues so far...
Sounds like you guys were are the wrong spot. Hate to say we told you so but... NNE as East Beach is not clean and is offshore anyway. NNW is definately not going to work.

Yes, it was nice to ride after a month of innactivity. Gary was riding really well. I saw him riding upwind with a big smile in his face. I still believe it was because he was on my FLX42 UG A.K.A "La burra". Way to go Big G!. Not a bad session at all.
