I think this wind direction limits our choices. I don't know if the beach will work right now.

Oh, I guarantee you the SW sensor is reading low. It's blowing in my front yard (not nuking... but blowing).

I am heading to the NSW in a few minutes to shoot video of anyone riding... then I'll head over to EB at around 1:00 (hopefully) to do some more video and hopefully some riding if I find a sitter.

Man, it really rocked!
Once it filled in, it was pretty sweet.
Billy was going huge on his new 10.5m Flexi Ion2.

I rode at Backside today. No one else was around for over an hour. Ty showed up and we ripped it up. We were the only kiters I saw at Backside today.

It was decent (at best) on the inside but epic on the other side of the channel in Backside Bay. Super flat, glassy, and clear to the bottom, with clean and solid wind. I was grooving all over the place out there.

I finally put my 15m Ion at around 3:30 or so when it started to get really decent. I was so tired and sun-weary that I said the hell with it, went home and ate everything in site, then crashed. Probably missed the best wind of the session, but whatever, I rode for hours and hours today.

Looked like there were a bunch of kites up at East Byatch. I counted roughly thirty, but it looks like more kites are getting up to the Monkey Flatz toward the channel, so maybe it was not as crowded today as one might expect.

It was moderately crowded. I rode downwind of everyone a lot.
I also rode a new spot today for awhile... backside EB.
It was honking back there, weird, but true. I saw it whitecapping and figured, WTH...
When I went back in there, I couldn't believe how hard it was blowing. Some kind of funnel thing going on in there.
