Default Thurs PM ride

Accu weather is calling for SW 13 around 5:00pm, do you think we may get a little seabreeze on top of that and make it rideable after work today?? I'm thinking about leaving an hour or two early and head out to the beach. It looks like it might be our best shot for a while.

Bob

I have no idea. But, Sunday (by the Sunday laws of weather forecasting) will be good.

It was about 10 from the southwest when i drove by this morning... so I am thinking it is sucker wind... but there is always the chance a little seabreeze will add to it and make it 13. Worth a try.

i'm just visiting in town for the next week and i brought my gear - a quick question.

where would you ride on a SW?
can you ride in sarasota - i thought tampa was the closest area.

thanks for your help

woohoO! Winds were good today, had to cut the session short to study(finals) but it was blowing 20knots easy. I was overpowered on my 16m waroo jumping big! Rode from the causeway to honeymoon to caladesi on a low tide with craig w. and a new kiter bob I just met. Good $hit.

i got 2+ hours of good riding in at backside.

rode by myself for over an hour before anyone showed up.. i saw one kite flying at EB.

couple new riders showed up. as i was putting stuff away one new rider got stuck WAY down wind..almost at the bridge.. i told him it was a shitty place for a new rider.. i saw another help him to shore before the bridge so I am sure he is ok.. just a long ass haul back up the shoreline.

i do hope he is ok, but when i saw him go down and see him in trouble my first thoughts were "told ya so".. i feel like shit saying that.. but its true. the other rider was down there helping him immediately so I knew he was going to be fine. Just looked like he was having a very tough time body dragging to his board and getting stuck way down wind. yesterday the tide was moving insanely fast. very very difficult to maintain upwind. i wrecked on a failed backroll and got pulled a ways off my board. i got my footing in the waist deep water and within seconds my board was flying past me with the tide.

why are new riders showing up at backside??!??!

because they read the forum to see where to ride and backside seems to be mentioned twice as much as any other spot
