Sat DP?

OK Scott,
could you read the tea leaves again and say if it will be doable at the skyway in the AM? How's the old temperature gradient lookin?

As Tom pointed out to me today, I have gained command over predicting the SENSOR, but pssibly not the true wind!
It wasn't blowing jack shit at the SW today, despite the ikite saying 17.
So, I did do a bang up job of nailing that sensor spike!!
However, in reality when Raul and I got there, it was 6 knots.

Good thing I am only 4 minutes away or that would get under my skin.
It did blow solid ten for about 40 minutes. I was actually quite powered up then. :P :P

Seriously though, I have noticed when the morning low and the high are 20 degrees apart, it greatly increases the odds of a decent east.
We will see.

I did get to test the low end on my new kite, though. I think its as low as any kite I have ridden (upwind no problem in 7 knots just parking the kite, on a Glide).
It's amazing how effiecient and powerful kites are these days.

Its blowing about 14 now, so lets just hope

It just jumped to 20. If it stays past midnight, I am betting on a DP.

Strange thing is, I walked outside and it's not windy!?

hmmmmm.....maybe a pelican farted on the sensor.

still looks good :mrgreen:

Raul,

What was it at 5 45? It says 14 now. Thing is, I am planning on that ramp up again (and I am a perpetual chaser) so I am going out again, either way.

I am just curious if it said 20 a half hour ago.

the highest it got to was 18-21 NE 1/2 hour ago

Great morning. Nice to see everyone out there.
Tom, Bruce, Raul and me were there early. Reminded me of 3 years ago.
Then more people kept coming as it filled in. Pretty cool. :wink:

It's just sick how good kites are getting these days.
What's really blowing my mind is that Donna and I can both ride the same light wind kite LITT in 13 knots and then another medium sized kite in 20 knots by tuning it, with both of us LITT as we trade off. She by the way, is dialed in litt, not overpowered, and me the same.

That was simply not possible 2 years ago.
Pretty cool stuff.

Also, today's 15m kites are crazy powerful and effecient. Ten knots now is actually plain fun with a good board! :P and you can ride that same power machine up to about 18 or 20. Unreal.

Hopefully we will have the same tomorrow. That'd be super sweet.

How about Amber and I put that theory to the test!?!?!? :lol:

who actually ever had any fun on a 18+M kite?
