Talking Finally, a North bch day!

Or, I could also title this "The Wind Gods Finally Return to Their Senses"

It looks like after a long drought of wind we'll get a quick one day shot of good NNW this Saturday. Wow, it even comes to us on a weekend!

So far all forecast sites indicate this on the long range outlooks, keep your fingers crossed....

I hope it happens, Raul.
That'd be sweet. I have seen lots of forecasts for good wind 5 days away peter out as the "day of wind" nears though.
Still, I hope it happens.

With this down time, I have fixed all of my gear.
I took a couple kites in to Keith to professionally repair, fixed some leaky bladders, replaced any worn pigtails or bridles with Q line, repaired areas on my board, and made sure everything is up to snuff.
I even fixed all the leaky bladders in my 13m Fuel with SS replacement bladders that have been in the garage for almost 2 years now.
I also double checked the lines/line lengths on my bars.

When wind comes, I don't want to waste time with screwed up equipment.

I'll lay odds you'll take sissors to that fuel next time you try to inflate it, LOL!


Anyways, look at the temp low for this sunday morning, dipping to 45. something is definitely coming our way...
