Dude do you ever sleep? It is looking pretty NE, I'm heading out after I get one more coffe. I'll stop by SSW and see whats up. If it looks clean NNE I'll rig, if it looks more NE I'm NSW bound.

I rode the 15m RRD all morning.
The kite tops out at about 25 or so.
It started off decent, then at about 8:30 it went to 20+, then tapered down to solid 15 or so for a couple hours and Donna and a bunch of others rode the 15 RRD.
By the time we left it was about 12.
It'll probably fill in again at 4.

Default north skyway

great session- finally got my landings in order and the dry suit was great! not too cold but works as a great windbreaker and was not too hot

the best part is the extreme range of motion-feels like a light jacket not a heavy wetsuit

skywalkers are great-either board super light and easy to hold down even with the 16m waroo

Great day!!!
