Probably downwinder central tomorrow.
Some guys might hit NB. Not to be negative, but it's most likely gonna be WAY too much for your 13.

Today was awesome. Did a DW with Al-kite-ah, Tom, Russky, Inferno and ran into others holding ground at different spots along the way.
It started off gusting to 40, but after 25 minutes or so settled down to something more reasonable (solid 30). It literally looked like a sandstorm at first with sand 100 feet high filling the sky like out of a movie.
Some pretty decent waves in some spots for around here. Beautiful day. Wish we had days like this every weekend.

Oh, I saw a lady briefly put up a 3m trainer of some sort on really short lines right next to the shoreline while I was rigging.
She put it up for all of 5 seconds, it caught some serious wind, was yanked from her hands, and then it just blew away.
Wish I had that on video. It was pretty funny just how fast it blew away (40mph)
Good thing the beach was deserted.

Yeah it was fun.. measured 20-40 on the beach, 30 in the parking lot, looked like a sand storm. Waves were pretty big but got pretty small as we got towards PAG. It was blowing solid 30-40 at T.I. and 20-25 at the undertoe at the end of the DW. I was pretty underpowered towards the end... funny to see 6 kiters with kites and boards occupying the front half of the trolley.

yesterday was better if only because of the warmth of the winds..

great 2 days.. im completely spent..

Upham beach rocks! Some pretty nice waves. Rode with Randy, Cornel, Brooke and some others. Had fun there although i paid the price a couple of times when some waves exploded in my faces. LOL
