It's blowing 31S at the Skyway right now...

Wish I coulda got there around 12:30 or 1pm.

When I first pulled up it was solid 17+ and capping like mad.
I rigged my 16m and rode for about 45 minutes perfectly powered and jumping and all that stuff.

Then it started to slow to around 13 for an hour.. so I just did a huge upwinder/sightseeing tour and looked for tarpon (they are commonly near the pass, but I didn't see any).

Then, it hit the shitter around 4:30 and never returned.

During that time I got to fly a 12m Caution Answer kite on the beach.
Although I didn't ride it, that kite impressed the hell out out of me.
It flew just like a stunt kite. It was amazing how fast and responsive it was, especially in totally garbage wind (9 or so with lulls)

Oh yeah, also during that time I lost a 20 dollar bet to Jordan.
He rode an Aggression Super Phatty upwind on a 16m Xbow in 9max....(I didn't think he could)
Hate to lose a bet, but.. glad I got that board coming in the mail!
